The post headline makes it sound like the Associated Press actively chose to provide safe haven to Hamas terrorists.

The AP claimed they were "lucky" to avoid the Israeli attack. Netanyahu tells the AP they were "lucky" that Israel gave them the heads up to get out.

Netanyahu fires back at reporter who claimed journalists were 'lucky' to escape targeted building: 'It wasn't luck'

Of course, the AP says they were unaware that Hamas operated out of the building.

Now, people are wondering why they should trust a new agency that was completely unaware that Hamas operated in the same building.

Major newspaper wants to know why anyone should trust the Associated Press if it's going to claim it didn't know Hamas was in its building

The AP's claim:

Quote:The AP reported on the incident as though it was unaware of Hamas' presence, saying, "The Israeli military said it targeted the building because it contained assets of Hamas intelligence agencies, which it said were using media offices as 'human shields.' It did not provide evidence for the claims."

AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said his organization was "shocked and horrified" by the move, claiming, "The Israeli government says the building contained Hamas military intelligence assets. We have called on the Israeli government to put forward the evidence."

"AP's bureau has been in this building for 15 years. We have had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the building," Pruitt asserted. "This is something we actively check to the best of our ability. We would never knowingly put our journalists at risk."

AP's Claim Disproven:

Quote:Even more damning, former AP reporter Matti Friedman reported for The Atlantic in 2014 that the AP was fully aware of Hamas' presence.

The AP staff in Gaza City would witness a rocket launch right beside their office, endangering reporters and other civilians nearby—and the AP wouldn't report it, not even in AP articles about Israeli claims that Hamas was launching rockets from residential areas. (This happened.) Hamas fighters would burst into the AP's Gaza bureau and threaten the staff—and the AP wouldn't report it. (This also happened.) Cameramen waiting outside Shifa Hospital in Gaza City would film the arrival of civilian casualties and then, at a signal from an official, turn off their cameras when wounded and dead fighters came in, helping Hamas maintain the illusion that only civilians were dying. (This too happened; the information comes from multiple sources with firsthand knowledge of these incidents.)

The left hates Israel.

"...Hamas and its supporters in Iran regularly announce they seek Israel's destruction. There is no parallel to this in the world. No groups or nations seek the obliteration of any other nation in the world. This is in keeping with the history of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is not just another ethnic or racial bigotry. I wish it were. Anti-Semitism, unlike every other form of racism or ethnic bigotry, is exterminationist. Jew-haters don't merely hate Jews; they want Jews dead. That is one of the many reasons that every honest person understands that anti-Zionism is merely the latest expression of anti-Semitism. The anti-Zionist claim is that Israel's existence as a Jewish state is illegitimate.

Why do those on the left (again, as I always point out, leftists; not liberals) deny this?

Because the left hates the good and often supports the enemies of the good. Leftism is a moral sickness in the human condition. As I have previously written, it is not even an issue of the left having a broken moral compass. A broken moral compass is occasionally accurate. The left's moral compass always shows north as south and east as west.

That is why the left hates America. Precisely because it has been, in Abraham Lincoln's incomparable words, "the last best hope of earth." And that is why the left hates Israel. With all its flaws, Israel, too, has been a moral beacon. Israel's prime minister has just tweeted out a video made by Col. Richard Kemp, the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, released by PragerU shortly after the last Israel-Hamas war in 2014. The title of the video says it all: "Israel: The World's Most Moral Army....""

So the AP is now the enemy?

What do you mean by “now”? They have been on the wrong side for a while.
