Associated Press was sheltering Hamas terrorists in their Gaza building

[Godboy]

This is a massive story! Both the AP and Al-Jazeera media offices were sharing space with Hamas terrorists in a building owned and operated by a Hamas group.

How would that justify a missile strike on a building full of innocent people, not to mention International News Outlets?

You should probably read the article before you attempt to spread Hamas propaganda...

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tweeted: “After providing advance warning to civilians & time to evacuate, IDF fighter jets struck a multi-story building containing Hamas military intelligence assets. The building contained civilian media offices, which Hamas hides behind and deliberately uses as human shields.”

No journalists were apparently harmed in the attack, other than the apparent loss of valuable equipment and archives.

IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman released a statement detailing terrorist assets in the complex, including a Hamas research and development unit and military intelligence, as well as offices of the Islamic Jihad terror group.

ONCE AGAIN, how does any of that justify a missile strike on a building full of innocent people not to mention International News Outlets?

Just because the Israeli's provided "advance warning" doesn't give them the right to fire missiles at a target that is:

a.) occupied by innocent civilians
b.) occupied by legitimate International Entities
c.) IS NOT PRESENTING A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THEM

It would be like the U.S. conducting an airstrike against an Office Building in Canada occupied by Haaretz because we thought the landlord had ties to Al Qaeda.

If a landlord in Canada was housing terrorists that were attacking US, the Canadians would arest him for the US. When have the Palestinians EVER arrested a terrorist?

Where the ******* proof dickhead ?

Read my citation, jerk off!

Proof ? Its this thing where you can back up your claims. Courts love it.

Where's the proof that Hamas was justified in striking schools, hospitals and other Palestinian communities in Israel? Why are your questions always one sided? This is why Israel doesn't even bother to respond because it is a brainless issue. Too bad the building wasn't filled to the brim with more media. The satellite recorded missile trails coming from the building leave no doubt that it was a firing platform....and everybody in the damn building knew about it and was OK with it.....soooooooo who gives a shit. If you work in a building that fires missiles you are an idiot. Israel hit the jackpot with that building! That's why the response is so full of vituperation and acrimony. You want to rent to terrorists who kill innocent people? Then you will suffer the fate of those terrorists also.

No proof then. IDF lied ,again.

Do you have proof that they lied, or does the proof standard only apply to everyone but you?

Leftist media are LITERALLY acting as human shields for Islamic terrorists, something many of us suspected all along, and it's now confirmed. These are war crimes.

The AP swears they knew NOTHING about sharing the building with the Hamas. Either that makes them the worst "news" organization on the planet OR complicit with Hamas.

OR the other far more likely probability, that Israel knows there is no Hamas connection to that building and Al Jazeera and Associated Press was their real target?

 

[Rigby5]

Why do you think I turned it down?

Because your faith is the Democrat party? U.S. Jewry that spits on Israel should NEVER, EVER be allowed to make Aliyah. Not under ANY circumstance. When the anti-Semites become bold enough to regularly attack Jews on the streets of the cities they live in here, folks like yourself will have NO excuse.

Again you STILL misappropriate words.
The word "Semitic" means "of an Arab language group", and does NOT mean Jewish at all.

And a REAL Jew would know that Aliyah now is a mortal sin.
Real Jews know they are supposed to be showing atonement for the sins of arrogance and pride, and be waiting for the coming of the Messiah.
Because of sinners like you, that might not happen for a very long time.
It is all your fault.
We will all be forced to pay for your sins.

Israeli intelligence uncovered the connections before destroying the building in an airstrike.

Biden, a known anti-semite, will of course do nothing about this, but at least Israel did his job for him and exposed this incredibly dangerous partnership.

AP Draws Flak After Israel Levels Gaza Bureau, Alleged Hamas HQ

Associated Press (AP) Washington Bureau Chief Julie Pace announced she was “stunned” after Israeli forces bombed a Gaza building housing media offices and, allegedly, terrorists.

www.breitbart.com

In Palestinian territory in might be hard to lease space from non-Palistinians. When setting up shop in a violent politically torn country, you pays your nickle, you takes your chances. No human shields. They were informed the building would be hit before the attack, so they left, as no future in martyring for somebody else's cause or by-line.

Essentially Israel is claiming they have a right to blow up any building with any Hamas connection, even though Hamas is the democratically and legally elected government of Palestine, and Israel's occupation of Jerusalem and the West Bank is totally illegal and an act of terrorism.

Once Hamas started lobbing missiles, everything is one the table. I acknowledge Israel's right to do as it will. If Hamas doesn't like it, they could have chosen not to attack or could choose to agree to stop attacking long enough Israel can believe the Hamas attack is over. It is Hamas' choice. I hope they make a good one, especially if they give a rat ass about their people. As it stands now, I don't.

Wrong.
The transgressor is Israel.
Israel continually murder to steal more Arab homes.
The military occupation of Jerusalem and the whole West Bank is totally illegal.
The evictions in the Israeli courts are totally illegal because Israel has no legal jurisdiction over the West Bank.
The beating, shooting, and arrest of Arab at the Temple Mount protest were illegal.

So then obviously the Palestinian rockets were not only legally justified, but required.
Clearly if the US were not corrupted by massive illegal campaign contributions, the US would be helping the UN prosecute Israel for its continual war crimes.

Show me the deed. It is BS at least until I am shown official document of ownership by the 6 Palestinian families displaced in Israel before Hamas decided to start launching rockets. Not a bright move, unless cutting your own throat to prove your point helps you in some way. Mostly people are watching you bleed out for situational stupidity and a utter lack of good judgement. Get to the table, dumb ass.

The deeds go back to the Ottoman Empire, so are no longer accessible.
But we do not need the original deeds.
All we have to know is that Arabs were in possession before the creation of Israel in 1948.
And that the West Bank is out of any Israeli legal jurisdiction because the West Bank is outside of Israel according to the UN.
The point of the Israeli confiscation is to build new illegal Jewish settlements, and that land can not possibly be owned by Israeli or Jews.

You suggest Palestinians should "get to the table", I assume meaning to negotiate, but that has been tried and failed.
At least a half dozen times.
Israel constantly agrees to stop taking Arab homes, and then continually does it, even during the negotiations.
Not once has Israel ever kept its promises.

And by the way, your use of nouns implies you think I am Arab.
I am not.
I am a Jewish US born citizen of Austrian grandparents.
This is not a personal issue.
It is simply a one of ethics and law.
Israel is WAY out of bounds, but Hamas is incredibly restrained, in my opinion.
I have never seen such arrogance and deliberate criminality by any government than Israel.
The way Israel acts is incredibly shocking.
People like Netanyahu even admit to be atheists while at the same time making a Biblical plea for divine ownership, when they do not even have any Mideast DNA.
Never heard of anything so disgusting.

That is really, really a stupid thing to write.
I clearly explained how I do not hate Jews, but hate Zionists who are openly defying the principles of Judaism.

Israel showed US ‘smoking gun’ on Hamas in AP office tower, officials say | The Jerusalem Post

Ironic that YOU should call anyone a ******* imbecile full of hate.
Your ilk will turn themselves inside out to defend the terrorists from Hamas who rained deadly missiles down
on civilian targets in Israel.
So much for your ability to hate.

You should be ashamed, but you seem to have none.

Did Israel murder and steal homes first or not?
Clearly they did, so it is Israel who is the terrorist criminals.
Next case.

How would that justify a missile strike on a building full of innocent people, not to mention International News Outlets?

Unlike Hamas, Israel warned the occupants an hour before the strike. There were no injuries.

.. and if somebody failed to get the warning and the Israelis ended up killing an innocent Foreign National(s), for instance an American Citizen working for the AP? just shrug our shoulders and give the Israelis a pass?

Israel acted recklessly and they should be condemned for putting innocent lives at risk in a situation that did not present an immediate threat to anyone, not to mention the fact that they made themselves look exactly like the barbarians that the Arab world accuses them of being.

I have yet to see you condemn Hamas for randomly launching hundreds of missiles into Israel and killing civilians.

.. and I have yet to see you condemn Hamas either, however only a moron would draw any conclusions from that fact.

Do you have a counter argument based on reason and evidence or are you just going to attempt to construct logical fallacies like a number of other posters in this thread are doing?

Hamas is terrorist fuckwits and anytime they die I cheer it. I have always condemned their terrorism.

And you?

Wrong.
Hamas only retaliates against the Israeli use of force in the only means possible.
That can not be called terrorism in any way.
And no Israeli can be called an innocent civilian since every single Israeli knows they are illegally in possession of stolen property. No Israeli paid for the home the live in. So they all know the land was stolen and not paid for.
There is no terrorism by Hamas to condemn.

The US has a vast history of much greater terrorism, such as Nagasaki, Hirshima, Dresden, Hamburg, Berlin, Vietnam, Shock and Awe, etc., where we clearly targeted civilians.

Are you really that ******* stupid or do you just act that way on here?

You really think Nagasaki and Hiroshima (learn to spell, fuckface) were "terrorism?" What do you call the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor? A picnic? Shock n Awe was a precision attack using nothing but guided weapons against known military targets. Civilian casualties were minimal.

You know what? **** YOU YOU ******* SON OF A *****. Leave the ******* country if you think we're terrorists. **** off.

That makes no sense.
First of all, obviously leaving out the 'o' in Hiroshima was a typo, not a spelling mistake.
Second is that I was NOT calling those bombings of urban cities "terrorism", you were.
Obviously we did not have the means of avoiding collateral civilian damage in WWII.
Hamas has even less choice about what means of retaliation they can use.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was not unprovoked, as the US had illegally cut Japan off from international sources for oil, rubber, coal, steel, etc., in Asia, that the US has no legal right to do.
And Pearl Harbor most certainly was NOT terrorism. It was not an innocent civilian target. It was totally legitimate.

Shock and Awe was totally and completely illegal because it deliberately targeted civilian water, food, sanitation, and electrical power, which in a desert climate, lead to the deliberate deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. Which is a weird thing for you to bring up since the Pentagon lied about Iraqi WMD, and our attack was totally criminal in all ways. Civilian casualties were NOT at all minimal, and were as many as a half million eventually, according to the RedCross.

If you can not understand and follow the international laws on war, then it is you who should leave.
This country should not tolerate terrorists like you seem to be.
Trying to incite criminal actions is even against board rules.

I'll give you a hint. If you are given word your building is about to be bombed from above or attacked by missiles (which they were), you should leave (which they did) unless you wish to be a martyr for your office building owner. Renting space to multiple news organization doesn't mean you can run a terrorist cell out of it with impunity. It don't work that way. Only a dumb ass would think it did.

Exactly how could anyone run a "terrorist cell" out of a commercial building?
If you were trying to hide some sort of illegal activity, the last place you would put it is in a building full of reporters.
But so far, there is zero evidence.
So then isn't it more likely Israel instead just wanted to prevent reporters from being able to do their job, reporting?

And are we supposed to accept that anything then associated with the legitimate elected government of Hamas, is a legitimate target?
Since Hamas runs the elementary schools, are they going to be bombed next?

God that is silly!
The Jerusalem Post is not at all a reasonable or useful source.
Can't you at least use Breitbart News or something with some respectability?
{...
In April 2016, Linde stepped down as editor-in-chief and was replaced by Yaakov Katz,[8] a former military reporter for the paper who previously served as an adviser to Economy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Naftali Bennett.[9]

Total right wing shift.
There likely is no more of a propaganda rag than the Jerusalem Post. Totally owned by the IDF.

Not that it would matter to the IDF or even should matter.
For example, what if a drug gang rented an office in the basement of the Sears Tower in Chicago?
Would that excuse someone blowing up the Sears Tower?
Of course not.
The Old Testament concept of an eye for an eye not only is barbaric, but should be used against Israel, since they are the ones who started the terrorism, like blowing up the British high command in the King David Hotel bombing, the shooting of the UN Moderator, Folke Bernadotte, etc.
