Even as Iran's long-voiced threats have come to fruition, with much of Israel's entire population running to shelters every few hours to seek protection from the regime's mass attacks targeting civilians, AP perseveres with its well-honed practice of whitewashing Iran's genocidal intentions.
The Financial Times claims Israel’s actions risk igniting a regional war, but the conflict has been raging since October 7, with Israel fighting Iranian backed proxies on seven fronts. By ignoring Tehran’s decades long campaign to surround Israel with terror groups, the FT misses the deeper reality driving the conflict.
Iran’s missile barrages into Israel have killed 24 Israelis, all civilians. But in stark contrast to its coverage of Israeli warfare, the paper has been uninterested in exploring whether ballistic missile fire into Israeli residential buildings violates international law.
CNN's Matthew Chance argues that by launching strikes against Iran, Israel is embroiling itself in an unwinnable war with no clear end. Echoing talking points of American critics of past American wars, he repeatedly lamented Israel’s supposed lack of an “exit strategy,” concluding that “Israelis face yet another grinding, dangerous war of attrition, with no time limits and no clear end.” But this analysis isn’t merely flawed—it actively misleads CNN’s audience by erasing critical context.
