Get a load of this anti-Israel headline, which contains a typo. Sure, it’s a typo. Right. Because it slipped right past the layers and layers of AP fact-checkers and editors, the thing that separates the journalists from the bloggers.
Israel charged with extorting African migrants in trafficking ring
Nice. All of Israel is extorting African migrants. Really? Does that mean this is a UN investigation or something?
An Israeli man has been charged with participation in a human trafficking ring that captured and tortured African migrants in Egypt’s neighboring Sinai desert.
The indictment, announced Sunday, says the accused extorted tens of thousands of dollars from Eritrean and Sudanese migrants in Israel whose relatives were held captive in Sinai.
Oh, an Israeli man. It must just be a typo, because, really, who would blame all of Israel for the actions of one man?
Yes, it’s a typo. I know it is. But the AP’s attitude on Israel is so questionable as to make me wonder if it was deliberately left that way, or deliberately made that way. Because there’s something missing from the story on the Israeli who is being charged with extortion and kidnapping.
He’s not an Israeli Jew. He’s probably a Bedouin.
Rahat resident Yusef Alkrinoi has been indicted for belonging to an organization inolved in the kidnapping of Sudanese and Eritrean citizens in Sinai for ransom from their relatives in Israel.
Funny how the AP only counts Israeli Arabs as plain Israelis when they commit crimes. And they make sure to use “Israeli” in the headline on those stories. But no, there’s no media bias against Israel. None at all.
