In the wake of an Israeli Defense Forces air strike on a building housing the Associated Press and Al-Jazeera in Gaza Saturday, Israeli officials showed US officials what they call "smoking gun" evidence that the Hamas worked out of the same building, the Jerusalem Post reports.

"We showed them the smoking gun proving Hamas worked out of that building," a source close to Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi said. "I understand they found the explanation satisfactory."

The Israeli Air Force struck the 12-story building on Saturday, giving residents of the building an hour warning to evacuate.

"The building housed the offices of civilian media, which the terrorist organization Hamas hides behind and uses as human shields,” said an IDF statement. "The terror organization Hamas deliberately places its military assets in the heart of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip.

Well, military occupation is against international law, so Israel, if they want peace, can annex the West Bank and Gaza or give their blessings for a completely independent State of Palestine.

If they want peace.

Israel has already given its blessing to a completely independent State of Palestine.  Multiple times.  The other Arab states?  Not so much.  But hey, we can go back to the '67 border any time.  Gaza occupied by Egypt.  The West Bank as Jordanian territory.  No Palestine independence at all.

Today, Palestine actually has independence.  The problem is that with that independence, they repeatedly choose to engage in acts of war against Israel through their elected leaders.

With the Nazis Should Teach Us About Reporting the News
Is it better to cooperate with dictatorships and authoritarian regimes and tell half the story with hands tied—or not tell the story at all?
by Matti Friedman

Did the Associated Press, the venerable American agency that is one of the world’s biggest news providers, collaborate with the Nazis during World War II? A report and new counter-report on this subject offer a few striking lessons—not just for students of history but for anyone concerned with the way news coverage shapes our perception right now.

A paper last year by the German historian Harriet Scharnberg titled “The A and P of Propaganda” and published in Studies in Contemporary History makes the case that beginning in the mid-1930s, the AP’s photo office in Germany made compromise after compromise to keep reporting under Nazi rule, obeying successive orders from the Hitler regime until it ended up as a Nazi information arm in all but name. Remaining in Berlin after its competitors departed in 1935 allowed the AP to serve as a “key channel” for German propaganda, she wrote, an arrangement the New York-based agency was eager to preserve—even if it meant removing all of its Jewish photographers in keeping with Nazi race laws, for example, and even if it meant issuing a statement to the official SS magazine swearing that the photo bureau was pure Aryan. ...

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. AP loves those Jew-killing enterprises.

If "news" outlets want access, there's almost no lie or cover-up the MSM won't do. That's how Clinton trained and tamed the MSM, that's how OhBummer! got the MSM to be his lapdogs, and I expect LIEden will soon have have the MSM reduced to abject obedience.
