The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) describes its objective as promoting accurate and balanced coverage of Israel and the Middle East. It is a 501(c)(3) organization that "takes no position with regard to American or Israeli political issues or with regard to ultimate solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict. "[1]

In The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, the authors describe it as one of the Israel lobby's "most energetic media watchdog groups". It is especially hostile to National Public Radio (NPR), which it has called "National Palestine Radio"; it does not simply publish but has organized demonstrations outside NPR stations in 33 cities. [2] they said it attacked Jimmy Carter's book Palestine: Peace, not Apartheid, charging antisemitism.
