The Associated Press came under fire once again after it published an article on Tuesday describing Palestinians who launched an incendiary balloon attack on Israel as ‘activists.’
“Activists in the Gaza Strip on Monday launched incendiary balloons into southern Israel, setting off at least three fires across the border, Israel’s national fire service said,” read the controversial article filed by the American news agency.
The piece discussed the rising tensions between Israel and the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
An individual who shot an Israeli sniper in the head at point-blank range was also called a ‘Palestinian activist.’
Many objected, saying this was not activism, but rather terrorism that the AP article was highly editorialized.
And this is an example of the biased reporting when it comes to Israel. These balloon launchers are all members of militant terrorist groups who order when to launch and when to stop https://t.co/FGO9FKgSEc

Reuters is doing the same thing. Reuters called the grenade-throwing killer an anti-Israel protester.
Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades hailed Dueji as a “heroic martyr,” thereby admitting that he was a fighter in its ranks.
So why couldn’t @Reuters acknowledge the same?https://t.co/GfrA9jq5C4
