The AP’s sympathy for the Hezbollah devil could’ve – Latest News
The Associated Press simply made it clear the place it stands on the terrorists’ conflict on Israel: With the terrorists.
How else to learn its weird puff piece Wednesday sympathizing with the poor, struggling Hezbollah goons injured in Israel’s pager assault final yr?
The Babylon Bee couldn’t have come up with a higher parody than the 2,100-word function, “Survivors of Israel’s pager attack on Hezbollah struggle to recover” — although that’s not how AP’s Bassem Mroue and Sarah El Deeb meant it.
The two recount their interviews with six people wounded in the assault, all “Hezbollah officials or fighters or members of their families.”
Israel, they clarify, launched an operation aimed toward “harming and disrupting” Hezbollah members. Such nerve, no?

Except that this got here as Hezbollah was firing rockets aimed toward obliterating harmless Israelis — in “solidarity” with Hamas, which had simply waged the most barbaric assault towards Jews since the Holocaust.
Jerusalem “boasts” of the assault, seethe AP’s authors, who then cite critics claiming it “may have violated international law, calling it indiscriminate.”
Indiscriminate? It was the most cleanly focused factor doable: Only Hez heavies had the pagers, and Hezbollah admits these wounded or killed had been virtually all its terrorist personnel.

Ah, however the AP pair by no means truly use the phrase “terrorist” as they lament the struggling of Hez associates who “lost fingers” and had “shrapnel lodged under their skin.”
Mahdi Sheri, a 23-year-old Hezbollah fighter, “can no longer play football.” Horror of horrors!
“It’s impossible now” for him even to “find a role alongside Hezbollah fighters.”
What? Never in a position to assault Israel again? Unforgiveable!
Worse: Hezbollah “is left with the financial and psychological burden of thousands who need long-term medical treatment and recovery.”
Poor, unhappy terrorist group.
OK, the wire service’s sick bias isn’t information: E.g., after Israel eradicated Hez boss Hassan Nasrallah, the AP’s headline mourned him as “charismatic and shrewd.”
An outdated and storied company, the AP should still make use of a few goal professionals.
But it’s nonetheless change into a propaganda device for terrorists, plain and easy.
