From citing unreliable casualty figures to implicitly adopting the Hamas narrative, the news agency has shown an anti-Israel slant, CAMERA's Tamar Sternthal writes in Times of Israel.
AP conceals that Egypt refuses to coordinate with Israel on the transfer of aid, thereby preventing the passage of food through Rafah crossing into the Gaza Strip. By falsely holding Israel responsible for the reported food shortage, AP piles on to the tampered evidence upon which the ICC has built its whole rotten case.
AP's selective coverage of the 'Nakba,' the defining event of the Palestinian national struggle, embodies the core fault of international media coverage: erasing Palestinian agency. AP accounts ignore the Arab war to eliminate the nascent Jewish state.
Media outlets uncritically reported as fact Hamas' false claim that the terror organization accepted the Gaza ceasefire proposal, completely ignoring the State Department's unequivocal clarification: "Hamas did not accept a ceasefire proposal."
When the International Court of Justice issued an order on January 26 in the “genocide” case between South Africa and Israel, it soon became common knowledge that the ICJ had found it “plausible” that Israel was committing “genocide.” This common knowledge, however, was in fact a myth.
Associated Press photo captions depict a south Lebanese site hit in an Israeli airstrike as nothing more than a civilian paramedical center, concealing that Jema'a Islamiya is a designated terror group.
Where is AP's vaunted transparency when it comes to the independent U.S. intelligence about the Hamas command center? Like a Hamas weapons cache hidden away in Shifa's MRI ward, deliberate and deceptive concealment ironically finds a home in a place of supposedly total transparency.
Falling into an antisemitic trope, AP fails to amend after whitewashing the Saudi anti-Jewish bigotry hurled at American Rabbi Abraham Cooper, chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, as "sensitivity" due to Israel's war against Hamas.
Nearly every day, AP religiously recounts with muezzin-like regularity Hamas' latest figures for Palestinian casaulties. Meanwhile, the news agency delays and discredits when it comes to IDF-supplied data on Hamas fatalities. Sometimes updates happen only after CAMERA's nudging, resulting in underreporting of Hamas fatalities.
AP's Julia Frankel falsely reports that under the intermin peace deals, "the self-rule government was meant to expand and eventually run a future Palestinian state." In Frankel's telling, the still stateless Palestinians have no responsibility for their current state of affairs, including West Bank economic hardship born of Hamas' Oct. 7 atrocities.
