AP Discovers Israeli Strikes Kill Civilians, Again
The Associated Press dutifully reports 33 Palestinian deaths in Gaza, including 12 children, in what they quaintly label 'some of the deadliest Israeli strikes since the ceasefire’s start.' The piece notes Israel's response to alleged incoming fire. This familiar script—Israeli 'response' to supposed provocation, often resulting in disproportionate civilian death tolls—is a classic. Remember
Netanyahu's 2014 'Protective Edge' operation, which also saw thousands of Palestinian civilian deaths follow alleged Hamas provocations? It's the same playbook, just with a new date. One might wonder at what point a 'ceasefire' becomes merely background noise for ongoing bombardments, especially when U.S. politicians like Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), who received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2024
(OpenSecrets.org), consistently vote for military aid to Israel, effectively enabling these 'responses.' How many more 'deadliest strikes' must occur before the mainstream media notices the pattern, or perhaps, dares to connect the dots to the billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars funding this cycle?
