Comments on: The new AP boilerplate: More anti-Israel bias http://www.yourish.com/2008/03/20/4566 Cutting straight to the point Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:56:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: VadimM http://www.yourish.com/2008/03/20/4566/comment-page-1#comment-31333 VadimM Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:50:25 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2008/03/20/4566#comment-31333 Reuters are no better. Today they published a headline saying "Israeli troops kill Palestinian near fence: medics" "Israeli troops killed a Palestinian farmer in the Gaza Strip near the border fence with Israel on Thursday, medical officials said." Medical officials in Gaza are apparently military experts...I kinda mocked it in my blog. Soccerdad, how dare you? Fatah is a legitimate partner for peace and $150 mill US funding! (Never mind the fact that they are responsible for equal to Hamas and Islamic Jihad number of attack on the Israelis) They are partner for peace...peace is made with enemies...blah blah blah, kissy on the cheek, coffee and baklawa. Reuters are no better.

It has nothing to do with an American (or Israel) designation. Maybe Hamas should be referred to like this: "... Hamas, a terrorist organization, considered by some Palestinians to be a social services agency ..." (I'd probably be asking for too much for the media to realize that Fatah is also a terrorist organization.) I like this
