OK, AP really has gone right wing if they won't even point out that ethnic cleansing is the core of Trump's plan. Remember when the genocide started and Jared Kushner's response was to start talking about how much money could be made on waterfront properties once the Palestinians had all been gotten rid of? They're going to genocide the entire population and steal everything they have. Very much like the Nazis did, oddly enough.

Israel killed AP journalists like a dozen different times and they never call their genocide a genocide or fascist government fascist.

They're the gold standard for western propaganda without any particular western country's spin.

Yup, no surprise that they were also one of main drivers of the "Uyghur genocide" narrative a few years ago.

AP has been defending this genocide since it started

As deranged as this is, there’s a grim irony in Netanyahu doing all these human rights violations and war crimes for this land only for Trump to swoop in and fill it full of his golf courses and tacky resorts.
