Israel is the primary obstacle to Palestinian unity, reports AFP, ignoring that Hamas is a terror organization. From Gaza's civilian casualties and food shortages in the north to the Temple Mount's status in Judaism, the wire service fails to safeguard its charter calling for accuracy and impartiality.
Hamas' targeting of Jewish civilians is part and parcel of its mission — as set out in its governing Covenant or Charter — to "fight the Jews and kill them and to replace Israel with an Islamic state. According to the Charter, any type of peace negotiation and diplomatic end to the conflict "stand in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement."
In its latest fib about Gaza's fatalities, AFP's farcically attributes Hamas data to the United Nations, laundering the terror organization's numbers as independent and credible.

The Associated Press swerves and ducks the facts about lives cut short by Hamas — Palestinians sheltering in schools killed by errant Hamas rockets along with Israeli babies murdered on Oct. 7.
The United Nations is a key component in Hamas's war to destroy the Jewish state. And as CAMERA tells the Washington Times, the UN provides cover for the terrorist group. The press should not grant the UN undue credibility.
The Washington Post continues to uncritically regurgitate claims from Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist group. This has led to numerous embarrassing moments. Recently, the newspaper chose to delete an entire story that was entirely based on Hamas sources
"Gaza strikes back at Israel after enduring months of war" was the United Press International headline whose relationship to reality mirrors that of George Lucas' "The Empire Strikes Back" science fiction favorite.
News the Palestinian Authority and Hamas are to form a unity government calls for reminders about who Hamas is and why it is deemed a terrorist group.
