AP Laments Loss of Hamas Office

Associated Press Laments Loss Of Gaza Bureau, Which Shared Office Space With Terrorist Organization Hamas

In its article about the airstrike, the AP reported that 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.’” The AP added: “It did not provide evidence for the claims.”

This is a tactic strategically used to cast doubt on Israel’s reasoning to imply the AP itself may have been the target of the Israel military. Many others have also shown outrage toward the airstrike, but none have disputed Hamas’ use of the building. As one noted Twitter conservative observed, it looks like the “idea here is that Hamas should be able to use media orgs as shields (the deal those orgs knowingly make with Hamas) without consequences.”​

One could just as easily conclude that the AP and other outlets work hand in glove with terrorists. It would be at least as reasonable as the wild theories and innuendo they proffer.

Hammas have long used aqnyone in luding their followers as human fhileds, which is why there are so mane civilian casualties. They choose densly packed ares to launch their rockets. The more civilians are killed, the more it suits their purposes.

Hear is an interesting interview with the Israely ambassador to UK. Intervew starts after 4 minutes or so. Broadcast last Friday 14th May at 8.00pm. There are gaps when they have removed advertisements.

The terrorists are using the tanks, bombs & bombers supplied by their supporters in the US & UK. Hamas is foolish in firing rockets - they do little damage, but the Israelis use them as an excuse for their destructive and murderous bombing.

Despite the obvious military purpose of the targets, Israel warns those in civilian areas. It's why the AP was able to evacuate unharmed. The main reason the Hamas aggression, which is launched directly against civilian areas, not military targets, has less effect is the Iron Dome, which stops about 90%.

Using the term "murderous" of Israel rather than of the Palestinians shows a deep-seated hypocritical prejudice doubly supporting real murderers, and shameful for a Christian. Of course this is just the sort of reaction Hamas is hoping to generate by their unprovoked attacks, and works wonders with the gullible.

I understand that Israel deliberately fostered trouble, occupying the mosque during Ramadan, using tear gas & stun grenades - then live ammunition against Muslims coming to worship.

Then making laws to legalise taking over homes in Jerusalem, expanding settlements on Palestine, diverting water supplies, draining settlement sewage onto Palestinian land; imprisoning children after arresting them in their homes at night.

I don't support Hamas rockets - they simply give Israel an excuse to destroy Gaza, and they are little more than a gesture of defiance. I support the right of Palestinian people - and people everywhere - to live in peace.

How can supposed Christians support the country calling itself "Israel" when it violates God's laws? They have all God's promises freely given in Christ, but reject him & them.
