The difference betwen editorial shifts is obvious. Check out these passages in an AP story written by Amy Teibel, and edited by God knows who—they’re actually telling the truth about terrorists for a change.
Deposed Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas, speaking in Gaza, called hopes for the summit “illusions” and a “mirage.” He said, “the Americans won’t give anything. Israel won’t give us anything. Our land, our nation will not come back to us except with steadfastness and resistance,” a code word for attacks against Israel.
The Israeli military, meanwhile, said that one of its aircraft had targeted a car carrying an Islamic Jihad rocket squad on its way to an attack in Gaza City in the first such attack since Hamas overran the Gaza Strip this month.
One person was killed and two wounded, hospital officials said.
Islamic Jihad said the vehicle was carrying its members on a “holy mission,” code for an attack on Israel. Hamas TV footage showed the burned car, which contained at least one rocket.
Watch this story as it gets updated, and see if the above passages get edited out.
Several points come up. First, the first sentence is in paragraph 4.
Secondly, the “Israel considers Hamas a terrorist group” still appears in the story.
It was printed as-is in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. I noticed those phrases too.
I am glad that their “holy mission” was destroyed !
