Is media Israel’s enemy?

 

 

  

In move that guarantees media to hate Israel even more than it already does, a building in which several media outlets in Gaza were targeted for attack, raising a howl from the indignant Associated Press – whose reporters have become the latest WOKE people to hop on the “I’m a victim, too,” bandwagon.
Clearly Israel mistook AP’s non-stop rhetorical attacks as provocation for retaliation, mistaking AP and other western media outlets as the propaganda machine for Gaza terrorists.
It is really difficult to tell the difference between free media and this insane need to side with the humble people who just happened to want to destroy Israel and have always wanted to do so.
Somewhere in the midst of AP’s wounded wail, we learned that Israel had warned AP ahead of time that by locating their offices in the middle of a war zone and so near the terrorist missile launching pad, these offices might be at risk – since these terrorists lobbed missiles into Israel with the apparently approval of the AP assignment desk.
Perhaps AP believed that the First Amendment would be as effective at protecting them from retaliation as the Iron Dome is in protecting Israel from Iran-paid-for missiles.
Since people in the United States really do not have reliable information sources, nobody here really knows what is going on over there, except for the propaganda we get from news organizations such as AP, and since media tends to circle the wagons whenever anybody questions the validity of their reporting (much as they did when defending the Trump hit piece by Atlantic last year), we may never know the truth.
We are seeing a revision of the world and reaction to Israel partly because Trump had embraced them and obviously anything Trump embraces media is going to be against.
This is largely why Trump never got proper credit for the COVID vaccine, or why radicals have torn down statues of Civil War heroes – nobody is tearing down statues of Al Gore (if there are anyway) for his staunch opposition to Civil Rights, or his lying about Global Warming, or even his fake news about his inventing the internet.
None of this is news fit to print, so AP and other media doesn’t print it.
Most of the radicals supporting Palestine against Israel know nothing about the region’s history and condemn Israel for annexing land – such as the Golan Heights – which was conveniently used to attack Israel in the 1967 war. Nor do these purveyors of misinformation recall when Israel gave back land – such as the Gaza from which terrorists are waging their attack in the company of AP reporters.
The Israelis of course are not Saints and some of their policies for curtailing the rights of Palestinians may seem odious to Americans especially to the liberal left who are desperate to equate Israeli policies with Apartheid. None of these WOKE people have ever lived through an air raid or risked anything more than a hangnail when posting their diatribes on social media.
The left’s left fascination with the Palestinians as a victim highlights its own twisted logic about victimization: if you're not a victim; you're not cool
Left-wing media like Associated Press deliberately overlooks the abuses of the Palestinians and the Gaza terrorists in order to promote an agenda that Israel is out of control when it is largely reacting to terrorist organizations promoted by Iran who are paying for the missiles the terrorists use with funds Biden is sending to Iran
It is clear that the bombing of the Associated Press building has hiked up the volume in this misinformation War being promoted by International media.
But it is clear that if Israel deliberately attacked the AP building after giving the inhabitants warning that they might be at risk, then Israel clearly knows who their enemy is and it isn't just the Palestinians.
