Once again we see the establishment media using its still considerable influence to stir up hatred of Israel and disseminate “Palestinian” jihad propaganda.
After providing advance warning to civilians & time to evacuate, IDF fighter jets struck a multi-story building containing Hamas military intelligence assets.
The building contained civilian media offices, which Hamas hides behind and deliberately uses as human shields. pic.twitter.com/zeDjEquePD

Breaking: IDF bombs building in Gaza which houses Al Jazeera, AP hours after evacuation order. The building contained military assets belonging to Hamas military intelligence

This AP article says Israel destroyed media building but leaves out it was being used by Hamas. Says electricity in Gaza is off but leaves out that Hamas rockets took out power lines. Says Israel killed a Lebanese protester but leaves out he was Hezbollah. https://t.co/Zwp8t0M5GD

“Israel strike in Gaza destroys building with AP, other media,” by Fares Akram and Joseph Krauss, AP, May 15, 2021:
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike destroyed a high-rise building in Gaza City that housed offices of The Associated Press and other media outlets on Saturday, hours after another air raid on a densely populated refugee camp in the city killed at least 10 Palestinians from an extended family, mostly children.
The strike on the high-rise came nearly an hour after the military ordered people to evacuate the 12-story building, which also housed Al-Jazeera, other offices and residential apartments. The strike brought the entire structure, which collapsed in a gigantic cloud of dust. There was no immediate explanation for why it was attacked….
The latest outburst of violence started in Jerusalem and spread across the region over the past week, with Jewish-Arab clashes and rioting in mixed cities of Israel. There were also widespread Palestinian protests Friday in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces shot and killed 11 people.
The spiraling violence has raised fears of a new Palestinian “intifada,” or uprising at a time when there have been no peace talks in years. Palestinians on Saturday were marking Nakba (Catastrophe) Day, when they commemorate the estimated 700,000 people who were expelled from or fled their homes in what was now Israel during the 1948 war surrounding its creation. That raised the possibility of even more unrest….
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
In the introduction to this article, why is the word “Palestinian” enclosed in quote-marks?
Clive Delmonte says
Most “Palestinians” have no connection whatsoever with “Palestine”. Their citizenship was conferred upon them by UNWRA because their Arab “brothers” in Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt would not do the usual thing and confer upon them citizenship in the countries in which they born.
The regimes of these countries foresaw that they would be overrun by armed rootless agitators and they didn’t fancy that prospect.
Infidel says
Because ‘Palestinian’ is an invented term, which in the WWI period, referred to Jews, not Arabs. Arabs living in the area were always referred to as Arabs until 1967, when after the Six Day war, they were rebranded as ‘Palestinians’ so that world sympathies, which so far had been w/ Israel against the huge Arab empire that spanned much of North Africa and Middle East, could now shift to the handful of Arabs living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza

Because the “Palestinians” don’t exist? It is a fake term for local Muslims.
Eva says
Because there is no such thing as a ‘palestinian’.
It’s an imaginary term for an imaginary people.
And they have no right or business being in Israel.
Clive Delmonte says
700,000 ethnic Arabs were not expelled from Israel. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem asked them to leave temporarily so that the invading and conquering Arab armies would have a clear line of fire upon Jews.
Unfortunately the invading and conquering Arab armies never arrived.

Spot on, Clive.
somehistory says
The people were given warning. Israel gives warnings when civilians may be harmed by the efforts they must take to defend themselves against unprovoked attack by mozlum terrorists.
The writers…being pathetic at making complete sentences…are not honest in their reporting.
No surprise.
The entire world is experiencing the “big lie.” (Mr. Trump is using that line because the fake “win” by biden and obama and rice and harris…) mozlums and those who support them and their terror, refuse to tell the Truth.
jewdog says
Al-Jazeera probably enabled Hamas’s entrenchment.
James Lincoln says
I personally can see no downside to the loss of “Fake News” Associated Press / Al Jazeera in Gaza…
Infidel says
Even if that building weren’t used by Hamas, I don’t fault Israel at all for bombing it. While at it, they should also take out BBC, Guardian, CNN, MSNBC, and other leftstream media offices in the country
Giacomo Latta says
Reporters from these media don’t realize that Hamas is hoping to turn them into Israeli collateral damage? Do you have to fail at least two other university programs before being accepted into a journalism program?
gush says
“Civilian” put quote marks on “civilian media”.
gravenimage says
IDF bombs building used by AP, Al Jazeera, media reports don’t mention it was also used by Hamas military intel
……………………
That AP was happily using a building also esconsing Hamas is just nuts.
Boycott Turkey says
I heard TRT propaganda news was also hit in Gaza which is Erdogans mouthpiece
Infidel says
Did Young Turks of Cenk Uyghar also have an office there?? ?
JCA Reid says
Typical Maoist tactic. Put military/strategic personnel//equipment surrounded by Civilians. They’re praying for collateral damage, then they’ve got the Propaganda story of innocent Civilians being targeted. If the Civilians went and complained to the PA/Hams etc. easily dealt with – taken out & publicly executed. This serves as a warning to civilians to simply keep quiet & acquiesce as the same will happen to you.
wouldn’t blame the Israelis if they eradicated Palestine off the Map & reinstalled under its original name – Judea.
