The Associated Press raised eyebrows when it referred to Palestinian terrorists that launched attacks on Israel from Gaza as “activists.”

Fox News reports:
“Activists in the Gaza Strip on Monday launched incendiary balloons into southern Israel, setting off at least three fires across the border, Israel’s national fire service said,” the AP wrote.
“No one immediately claimed responsibility for the balloon launches, but in a statement on Sunday, Hamas and other militant groups pledged ‘to continue our popular activities without hesitation or retreat,'” it added. It also referred to a “Palestinian activist [who shot an Israeli sniper in the head at point-blank range.” Another AP story this week referred to the ballon launchers as “Hamas-backed Palestinian activists.”

Political commentator Noah Pollak, who previously ran the Emergency Committee for Israel, recalled the AP’s reported sharing of an office building with Hamas in Gaza and said the problem started with AP CEO Gary Pruitt. The AP claimed it was unanware of Hamas’ presence in the building, which Israel destroyed in an air strike earlier this year.
“The true activists here aren’t Hamas terrorists engaged in arson and murder — it is the AP allowing its ‘journalists’ to employ Orwellianisms to mislead readers about attacks on Israel,” he told Fox News. “This problem starts at the top with the CEO of the AP, Gary Pruitt, whose response to the AP sharing an office building with Hamas in Gaza was to deny reality and attack Israel for destroying the building. Why are AP reporters in Gaza acting as propagandists for Hamas? Because Gary Pruitt lets them.”
The Associated Press’ credibility has been slipping lately. Recently, the AP was accused by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of spreading fake news.

So the AP called terrorists ‘activists.’ It takes one to know one. We all know that the ‘journalists’ of the AP are in fact ACTIVISTS. Some of them are prima facie terrorists, by aiding and abetting terrorist causes.
Israel government activist should return fire.
YES HE DID AND A LOT OF YHEN FROM GETMO OBAMA IS ONE OF THEM
A-P no longer represents news, they are merely liberal mouthpieces unworthy of the access they have in media. They should be ignored and dismissed as liberal propaganda
This administration has brought shame to our country…this is the home of the brave and land of the free…remove this Biden trash now and restore Americans faith in its government for the people.
After visiting Occupied Palestine and the hostilities that exist between the long-time-Palestinian-land owners and the expanding Settlements into those lands it appears there can never be peace as it now stands. The Palestinians resent the Jewish claim that God gave their Palestinian homeland to those coming into the expanding resettlements thereby fulfilling the dream of a promised Biblical Jewish homeland after years of persecution.
Where do these vermin get the funds to keep lying? Who is paying for this?
can we hang Gary Pruitt as another liar who is covering for terrorists,just a question but sounds like a good solution to these lies///just sayin
