Still more AP media bias

For the past couple of days, the AP headline on its main Israel stories was a variant of “Israel Fires Missiles Into Gaza.” The story, of course, is bullshit. Israel hit two empty buildings and hurt no one.

Today’s story, of rockets being fired from Lebanon into Israel?

Rockets in Israeli Town Cause Minor Damage
JERUSALEM (AP) – Three rockets landed in a residential area of a northern Israeli town near the Lebanese border late Tuesday, damaging some property but causing no injuries, the army said.

The projectiles landed in the town of Kiryat Shemona. It was not clear whether the explosions were caused by katyusha rockets or mortar fire.

Channel Two television showed the remains of what appeared to be a katyusha, along with pictures of holes in the ground and in the side of a home.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Both Hezbollah guerrillas and Palestinian militants operate in nearby southern Lebanon.

A Hezbollah spokesman in Beirut said he had no knowledge of Tuesday’s attack, and the top commander of the Palestinian Fatah faction in Lebanon, Brig. Gen. Sultan Abul-Einein, denied Palestinian involvement, according to the local Future TV station.

So, uh, how did the rockets get into the Israeli town? Did they hitch a ride? Take a bus? Oh, wait. The “projectiles landed.” I see. Someone just, I guess, threw them up in the air and hoped they’d land in Israel. Because it’s not, like, say, Hizbullah or palestinian terrorists launched rockets at civilians in Israel. Nope. Nothing to see here, move along.

And the slide towards less-than-reptile continues for the AP editorial policy on Israel. I’m thinking if we reverse them along the Bear’s ecosystem, we could get them down to amoeba level before long.
