To all those who responded to me over the last two years, "Return the hostages," do you still actually think it was about the hostages? How do you feel about being complicit in whitewashing genocide? Will you now have the dignity to retract and call out Israel's apartheid & genocide for what it is?
How AP News whitewashes genocide.
TESTING THE CEASEFIRE??
Israel is *BREAKING* the ceasefire. Do you really think this would be the headline if Hamas killed 24 Israelis?
AP doesn’t even have the integrity to say Israel killed Palestinians. “Are dead” is passive to avoid attributing liability.
