On-the-fly Damage Control by AP—Subject: Hamas-Fatah Infighting
At around 1:30 this afternoon, AP released a report titled “Palestinian infighting in Gaza escalates, 4 killed.”
It concluded thus:
Abbas’ troops put on a show of force in Ramallah, marching in formation through the center.
Amir Qimari, 25, a food company employee, watched the military display with dismay.
“This became an oppressive and non-democratic government,” he said of the Western-backed Abbas and his West Bank prime minister, Salam Fayyad. “What they say Hamas is doing in Gaza, they are doing here.”
Security forces also patrolled the halls of Ramallah’s hospital where some of those injured in the rally that was broken up were being treated. The forces prevented reporters from speaking to the injured. [1]
Wow. Such accounts could be damaging to the illicit U.S.-Israel-Fatah “alliance.”
Ah, but wouldn’t you know: four hours later, an update came under the title “Palestinian infighting in Gaza escalates, 9 killed,” [2] wherein those last few lines are nowhere to be found.
This, folks, is AP, a.k.a., Apple Polishers; a.k.a., Absolutist Propaganda; a.k.a., Allied Pillagers; a.k.a., Apartheid Preservers; etc.
BTW: Both editions reported the dubious actions of the Israelis, who are allowing the Fatah-aligned gang members to cross over into Israel and back to the West Bank; however, nowhere in either report is it revealed that, since as early as Winter 2006, the U.S., Israeli, Egyptian, and Jordanian governments have been funding, training, arming, and giving safe haven to those militants who operate under the auspices of the unelected ruling junta in the West Bank (Fatah). Or that the primary goal of the whole operation has been to keep Palestinians fighting amongst themselves, and eventually, to overthrow the “militant, anti-Israel, Islamist, brown-skinned, extremist Hamas group which is dedicated to the bloody, violent, Islamist destruction of the infallible, God-sent Jewish state.”
