Opponents of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza staged a protest that evolved into brawling and one arrest outside a Los Angeles synagogue over the weekend in violence condemned by President Joe Biden.
Important context: the synagogue in question was holding a real estate sale for land allegedly stolen from Palestinians in the West Bank.
This protest was not against Jews praying at a synagogue. This protest was not antisemitic. This was a protest against the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and against settlements that Biden’s own administration considers illegal.
But I suppose the AP doesn’t consider that relevant information.
The solidarity on this is insane. The powerful and influential have seemingly locked arms to prevent anyone stopping the erasure of Palestine. Bombing Bethlehem has never been so profitable.
Much as it was when the counter-protesters showed up at UCLA last month and attacked the protesters with pepper spray and sticks for hours while the police stood by and watched.

Yup, and they’re very careful to avoid talking about who actually instigated the violence.

There is an awful lot of things that AP, as well as Reuters and AFP feel is stuff you don’t need to know.
So AP not real journalists anymore, good to know.
I mean . . . It’s a different kind of spin. The facts reported - such as can be verified - usually are real facts.
That’s more than a lot of other “outlets” have. After that though, it gets a little slant-y.
Lies of omission are still lies.
They are a clearing house for US/Nato propaganda
You act like Biden cares about US or international law…
I used to think he did, but he clearly doesn’t.
