Washington Post Forced To Retract Story After Explosive Report Backfires

Trending Politics News

The Washington Post has retracted a story claiming that the Israeli Military killed more than 30 people near a U.S. aid site in Gaza, the publication announced Tuesday.

An earlier version of the story claimed that 31 people, most of them civilians, were killed when Israeli troops opened fire near an aid site. The article cited the Gaza Strip’s Health Ministry in making the claim.

“The article failed to make clear if attributing the deaths to Israel was the position of the Gaza health ministry or a fact verified by The Post,” the outlet announced in an X post retracting the initial article. “The article and headline were updated on Sunday evening making it clear that there was no consensus about who was responsible for the shootings and that there was a dispute over that question.”

The Post further acknowledged that it did not fully include Israel’s statement on the article when making the initial report.

“While statements from Israel that it was unaware of injuries and that an initial inquiry indicated its soldiers didn’t fire at civilians near the site were included in all versions, The Post didn’t give proper weight to Israel’s denial and gave improper certitude about what was known about any Israeli role in the shootings,” the outlet continued.

“The early versions fell short of Post standards of fairness and should not have been published in that form.”

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Of course, those most agitated by the initial and irresponsible (at best) reporting will only attribute any retraction to 'someone getting to' the Post.

Well done arse breaths, how many deaths here will be instigated by this crap?

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They had to retract it after video from the area showed it was a bald-faced lie. Pallywood outlets dictate our so-called trusted liberal news.
