Murderous terrorist organization that mercilessly raped, slaughtered, beheaded and cruelly violated Israeli families, some wrapped in each other's arms, along with more than 1400 innocent people "says Israel's strikes on refugee camp kill more than 195 people"

I don't believe them. Neither should you. There's no room for truth in animals of their kind. Main goal of their media propaganda is to blame Israel and always for something spectacular.

Exactly. Contrary to what the Hamas propaganda machine feeds profit-driven media.

"Was there hardship in Gaza? Yes. As in any other society — including that in Israel, and in the United States — there were families who had less; but they learned to make do. But those who suffered did so at the behest of their Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist rulers who were overwhelmingly, democratically, elected into power by Gaza voters themselves."

“This is news but it’s hardly unexpected..." Joyce Vance wrote. “Judge Cannon seems desperate to avoid trying this case. This isn’t justice. defendants aren’t the only ones with speedy trial act rights, we the people have them too.”

“After the election,” professor of law and former chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter commented, “if Trump wins Jack Smith gets fired, the case gets dismissed, and Judge Cannon is ready for SCOTUS.”

You may find Ann Coulter (Coultergeist) brings little of value to the table, but her vitriolic rhetoric on Fox is what first woke me up to the hate of the Other that was infiltrating the GOP about 20 years ago.

I left the GOP then, mostly because of Coulter, and because George Bush failed humanity with his lack of requisite compassion during Katrina.

So thanks, Ann. Carry on your ugliness, and may God keep exposing it to the light as more Republicans run away from you.

“If he is, all of the things he attempted to do, but was stopped from doing by responsible people around him at the Department of Justice, at the White House counsel's office, all of those things he will do,” Cheney said. “There will be no guardrails.”

NOTE: Their article was 'revised' since my initial post. So, so is my post.

When these #AP journos share from Gaza residents they're stated as facts.

When they share Hamas they treat them as Gaza residents.

When they share what Israel says they suggest duplicity and question its veracity.

This was a slick hit piece on the integrity of Israel. News #propaganda.
