"Three More Nations Roll Out the Red Carpet to Hamas | Opinion"

"Welcome to the State of Denial. You've arrived in an alternative reality where terrorists have become heroes valiantly battling oppressors, genocidal slogans are triumphant calls for freedom, and the natural response to a terror group that slaughtered 1,200 people and took another 250 hostages is to offer them a state."

House Speaker Republican Mike Johnson told reporters Tuesday that his office notified Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer’s staff the day before that if the Senate leader does not sign the draft invitation for Netanyahu by Tuesday, he will proceed with inviting the Israeli prime minister to address just the House. The Speaker, however, noted that he would invite senators to attend the speech.

Republicans just don't care what damage they cause in their quest for power sadly.

What many Israel supporters are seeing is that Bibi's INTENT has CHANGED from defending Israel to permanently occupying Gaza. NO intl presence

Clearing the population there is a step in that direction. CONTINUED support of Bibi is untenable just as any support of Hamas or Putin

Israeli officials seize AssociatedPress equipment and take down live shot of NORTHERN Gaza, where IDF just resumed fighting while still in Rafah.

“The shutdown was not based on the CONTENT of the feed but rather an abusive use by the Israeli government of the country’s new foreign broadcaster law.”

The AP complies with Israel’s military censorship rules, which prohibit broadcasts of details like troops movements that could endanger soldiers.

>> If the AP is providing a feed to AJ after AJ's been caught one too many times disseminating Hamas propaganda, then the AP is a de facto propaganda outlet

AP licenses its content to 1000s of outlets, nit just AJ. If that content is not propaganda, then it is NOT a propaganda outlet, regardless of what its licensees do with that content.

One can prosecute another for committing a crime, but one may not prosecute a third for selling food to the alleged criminal.

There’s a reason why I chose “food” as an analogy above 🙂

Food vendor’s business is to sell food, not punish alleged criminals.

It is Israel’s right to ban Al Jazeera if they’ve determined that AJ promotes propaganda detrimental to Israel’s security.

It is not AssociatedPress’ responsibility to discriminate between 1000s of its licensees
