Dear Editor, Amy Teibel tries to pull our leg again, in “Mideast sides eye US midterms and impact on talks.” Want examples? Look first at the opening paragraph – the part manipulators work the hardest on. “[N]ext month’s U.S. midterm … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Well done! The first truly excellent AP Mideast report in months lived only hours. Meant to cover up its scandalous predecessor, Vatican meeting demands Israel end occupation, that you circulated for one & a half day, excellent Pope: … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Amy Teibel, who has given us so generously report after report on all supposed ills in developments in Israeli society, has finally been promoted to use her skills at distorting Israel’s existential and security needs, and she does … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Again, one person calls for the destruction of Israel and AP is right there to spread the rosy vision of the future, in “Pa. prof’s anti-Israel remarks concern lawmakers.” The bigot is quoted without any counter statement. This … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Isn’t it a pleasure when AP doesn’t have to write up an attack on Israel, Israeli Jews or Zionism? Sometimes AP only has to “report” the filth of others. And, we must admit, AP always does that devotedly. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In “UN envoy: AP findings on settlements ‘alarming’”: We read AP’s daily installment harping about Israeli settlements, and how in endangers the peace process while the only endangerment is from PA’s & AP’s preconditions AP quotes a UN … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Slain US activist’s parents face Israeli killer” is one of the most brazen AP anti-Israel pieces written ever. It’s only days ago that we wrote to you [in Slain US activist’s parents seek justice in Israel] the truth, though … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Israel marks 15 years since Rabin assassination” without a trace of shame, you use to dish up some of your most classical and time-tested lies. “The [peace] process broke down in violence in 2000, and many Israelis … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Short & mean, that’s how we can characterize your “Israeli military restricts troop tweets.” Mean in the sense that it doesn’t only distort; it does it so well that only experts will notice. The author(s) deserves a recommendation, acknowledgment or … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Jimmy Carter is back slandering Israel and AP is right there to give the bigot his worldwide audience in “Jimmy Carter says Palestinians live in a ‘cage.’” Extrapolating his words to his native USA, we understand him to … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Day after day, we read AP reports as “Murder suspect extradited from Israel to NYC” in which the clause “Bellucci is not an Israeli citizen, and it was unclear why he had traveled to Israel,” suggesting that he … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, You fooled us again. Of course. In your short report “Director Mike Leigh cancels Israel trip in protest” you write that “The school’s director, Renen Schorr, says Israeli artists face growing international isolation because of Israel’s political situation.” … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In “Slain US activist’s parents seek justice in Israel” we need to read five and a half paragraphs, 14 emotional lines, 214 words slandering Israel, before we are presented with the Israeli version of what happened. The usual AP … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Sickly Amt Teibel has tried her talented hand at a subject she knows nothing about, and it shows in “Israel unlikely champ in global real estate.” She gets the figures right, she gets the sources right, and she … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Our infamous PA West Bank reporter KARIN LAUB has done it again. In “Israel could reconsider presence in Jordan Valley” she needs only one introductory sentence to exclaim: “Israel’s demand for such a presence is one of the … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Another upbeat report by the world’s most successful Israel bashers. “Hezbollah’s gift for Ahmadinejad: An Israeli rifle” is lovely. We do understand that its author wishes to stay anonymous. Maybe a pen name as “Julius Streicher” would be … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, There is no reason in the world why your “Palestinians say 1 dead in Israeli strike in Gaza” should not have been titled “Israel intercepts Gazan terrorist rocket attack on civilians”, except your hatred for the Zionist enterprise. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, With your “Helen Thomas on being anti-Semitic: ‘Baloney!’,” AP has done the world yet another disservice. Again AP has quoted verbatim and at length an anti-Semite without putting up almost any fight. The average reader who doesn’t know … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Intro Amy Teibel is back! For people who don’t know this phenomenal but troubled writer, a short introduction. First, she hasn’t heeded our repeated call to go to therapy. So when we read her we should to bear … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “IOC president invites Israel, Palestine for talks” is a textbook case of AP spreading PA lies about the Mideast. The whole report consists of a mere five short sentences. What could go wrong in such a small … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Court upholds deportation of Nobel laureate” is the height of hypocrisy. You write that the legal decision “could further tarnish Israel’s image abroad” while it is you that is the major player causing such slander. DISGUSTING! By … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your KARIN LAUB has climbed down the high tree of hate for Israel to write a seemingly idyllic “Ancient tree to help turn Jericho into tourism hub” brilliantly. One really has to know the situation to even suspect that she … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Peace talks come and go, but a settlement grows” is one of the better written pieces of your propaganda. 1. You have produced dozens of “reports” in only a few weeks time harping on Israeli settlements, blotting … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, The report Your “Israeli police kill Palestinian laborer” is as short as treacherous. 1. In the headline, the opening and the body of the report, Israel is (again) presented as the mortal aggressor and Palestinians as chance-less victims. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, KARIN LAUB and MOHAMMED DARAGHMEH teamed up to produce “US in last-ditch attempt to save Mideast talks” from Ramallah. It made us appreciate the mean AP bias. Israel is mentioned a dozen times but barely given a chance to respond. The most obscene … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “UN experts say Israel suppressing flotilla footage” you took out of your collection even before we saw it. We found it in newspapers, but it’s gone from the AP record. We truly wonder why. It has all … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In “Israel navy halts Gaza-bound boat without violence” PA Writer AISHA MOHAMMED recycles old lies & distortions to harp some more (9 paragraphs, no less) about the death of 9 suicide activists on the Turkish boat of four months … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In your “Photo essay: Talks put focus on Jewish settlers” Associated Press Writer BEN HUBBARD takes AP propaganda to a new obscene height. In a rambling “report” he lists a slew of lies & twists, so efficient as … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Iran crosses into Iraq to hit bombing suspects” is mainly of any interests because it features a term rarely found in AP reports. The rarity: “terrorists”! For bands of murderers as Iran-sponsored Hamas or Hezbollah, AP always … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, With your “Israel warns of violence if peace talks fail” it was truly exceptional to see an AP headline voicing part of Israel’s position. Of course, we understand that that was a grave oversight and we applaud that you … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Let’s have a look at the beginning of your “UN experts: Israel flotilla raid broke int’l law.” Two quotes from the report: – The U.N. Human Rights Council’s fact-finding mission concluded that Israel’s naval blockade of the Palestinian … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Associated Press Writer AMY TEIBEL is back!! In “Internet holy day blackout imposed in Israel” AP gives this hate-fueled writer, always ready to go on a rampage, another chance to energetically profess dislikes & stereotypes. She has ignored our … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Israelis, Palestinians unite on sports field” could have been such a break from the usual bias as if all we have in Israel is war, pre-war and post-war events. Unfortunately, the report is marred if not ruined … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, AP’s “Serial stabbings suspect faces 1st murder charge” again names the suspect’s native country as Israel and again is completely silent about the fact that his roots lie in an Israeli Christian Arab community but that he lived … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, AP’s “Israeli PM: Current settlement curbs won’t remain” replaces the 3 consecutive previous reports all harping on settlements. Israel is the aggressor, Palestinians are the victims in the Mideast. We have to learn it and AP will not … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, AP’s “Hamas: Israeli strike in Gaza kills 3 Palestinians” consists of two parts. One is a “breaking news update” that is connected to the headline, the part under it an earlier story that has nothing to do with … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, AP has greatly expanded its “Clinton resuming `last chance’ Mideast peace talks” make-believe story. We also found the interview with Mrs. Clinton’s that this “report” is supposed to cover: http://www.cfr.org/publication/22896/conversation_with_us_secretary_of_state_hillary_rodham_clinton.html. In the AP story the word Israel appears … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, We are delighted to have AMY TEIBEL back, AP’s own Joseph Goebbels! And she doesn’t disappoint us. He first clause is one of utter distortion as only she can deliver. The judeophobic “reporter” immediately deals with the lunatic idea that … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, At first we assumed that your “Clinton resuming `last chance’ Mideast peace talks” was AP’s lame excuse to harp about Palestinian demands and leave out Israeli needs under the excuse that Mrs. Clinton would have spoken. We followed … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, We must hand it to you. AP isn’t only so creative with the truth; you are never too tired to be innovative in you fabrications. In “Obama says he’ll stay engaged in Mideast talks” you quote the smokescreens … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Hezbollah won’t cooperate with Hariri tribunal” is such a beautiful example of much what is wrong with AP’s Middle East “reporting.” Here again the leader from a terrorist organization gets AP’s open microphone. He can say whatever he … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your report “UN nuclear chief asks Israel to join treaty” mentions the word “Israel” 17 times in 16 paragraphs & in the headline. But the persistent reader has to wait till paragraph 8 to see the first AND … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Just the mere fact that Jews & Arabs read from right to left, doesn’t mean that on Middle East reporting AP should equal PA. Your “Fast-track Mideast peace talks face big obstacles” is so embarrassingly biased and twisted. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “CA university upholds suspension of Muslim group” also has the last word for the aggressors. The anti-Israel hecklers’ interim vice president doesn’t expires remorse about the anti-democratic violence. Instead, he portrays his group as the real victims … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Backer of NYC mosque gave to Hamas-linked charity” describes the case of a wealthy Hamas backer. AP gives him the last, nasty word. “When you see people surrounded by tanks and F-16s, you ask how can we … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Clinton: Time is now for Mideast peace” has all the feel of the usual AP Mideast reporting: 1. Pretending as if the world is not interested in a secure Israel and the Jewish State can only survive … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, 1. The last sentence of your “Israel: Explosions occurred at Hezbollah depot” seems to have fallen off. It must have read “Unfortunately, UNIFIL’s supervising is toothless as it is not allowed to search residential buildings.” 2. For the … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Gaza smugglers dead, missing in Israeli strike” is more of the same all over again. 1. Israel as the aggressor, Palestinians as its victims. From its headline till the very last paragraph. Even when it’s not true. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Israelis, Palestinians resume direct talks” starts off quite neutral, which is refreshing. However, in paragraph # 5 we see a classic example of Moral Equivalence that is so forged that it looks completely ridiculous: “renewed violence and … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, A. In one of your most disgusting reports to date, “Palestinian kills 4 Israelis on eve of peace talks,” AP again shows that when it comes to Israeli Jews, it has no trouble blaming the victim, no matter … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, We can’t tell if your “Influential Israeli rabbi says Abbas should perish” is just unwise or also malicious. The Rabbi in question as constantly monitored by the Israeli loony left because they know that he they can harvest … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Israel PM wants regular meetings with Palestinians” has Mideast reporting with a twist or two. You report that “[c]hief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said he hadn’t heard about the proposal but would be open to the idea. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Calif. GOP Senate candidate to travel to Israel” has an unfortunate paragraph. At first it seems rather innocent but on closer inspection and introspection the thoughts behind it and that it coveys are shocking. “Boxer, who is Jewish, … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, The Israel loony left has opened its mouth and AP is right there to report it worldwide. Though Israel’s neighbors are only democracies in name, they each do have opposition parties, in the country or abroad. How come … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “EU slams Israel’s verdict on Palestinian activist” is as short as it is hateful & untrue. The EU didn’t slam anyone. One person with a known anti-Israel bias did. The Israel-hater seems not to be aware that … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Lebanon moves to address widespread use of weapons” has ONE reference to Israel and (again) it’s so off. “Hezbollah was the only group allowed to retain its weapons as protection against Israel.” AP hides that Hezbollah is Israel’s … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, 1. What is a truthful approach to report a wrong in Israel, in the light of the fact that a large portion of the world’s news consumers have been bombarded with anti-Israel news and now dislike Israel no matter what … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, No less than five AP writers worked on your “Israeli PM urges patience on new Palestinian talks.” Does it show? 1. The first two paragraph contain a curious word. We’ll summarize: “The Israeli prime minister said Monday that … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Blair: Serious ideas needed for Mideast success” is so distorted – it cannot be called a report with the best will in the world. “Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair called on Israelis and Palestinians” – Equivalence, … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your well-informed Dubai-stationed religion editor penned “Mideast passions quiet over NY mosque showdown.” When he quotes “Mideast commentators” they are all Muslim. Israel was one of the 40 countries where he was stationed so he knows Jews and … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Israel police: Former PM Olmert should stand trial” is short and factual. Unfortunately, Jewish stereotypes are widely spread and have to be taken into account. Therefore AP needs to include an important disclaimer to counter existing bias the … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Gaza Mall sparks debate over Israeli blockade” has been long in waiting. Still missing: All the Jerusalem malls that we know have 2 or 3 floors, so what enormous “luxury malls famous elsewhere in the Middle East“ … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your reporter has fallen for Palestinian propaganda in his “Israel faces difficult choice on settlement freeze.” One only has to read the opening lines of the Jerusalem Post on the same subject to realize this. http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=185736 The threats … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Saudi statesman and poet dies of stomach cancer” is fraudulent as soon as you discuss the deceased’s record with Jews and Israel. After whitewashing Arafat in the AP obituary, we have been watchful about this, and your … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “A look at previous Israeli-Palestinian peace talks” is such a laughable effort to rewrite history, it’s not worthy of a point by point review. We just take a few random passages and show what a bunch of … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In your super-short “Source: Israel, Palestinians to hold talks Sept. 2″ you still managed to insert some bias. When summing up the goal of the negotiations you mention three concerns of the Palestinians and none of the Israeli … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Peace this time? Israel, Palestinians to talk” opens with eight blend news paragraphs. Then we find a cluster of your old & exposed hobbyhorses of whole & half untruths. Most of the report is kept eerily calm and unreal. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Finally some good news to report for the anti-Zionists and you bring it gleefully. In “Iran inaugurates nation’s first unmanned bomber” your reporter has the gall to call Israel Iran’s archenemy. Further, all vitriol of Twenty-first Century’s would-be … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In “Israeli PM: Peace ‘difficult but possible’” is (still?) a short report but already not clean. AP’s filalítheiaphobia (phobic fear for truth) got the better of it after it had to report on a hopeful statement by Netanyahu. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your fourth installment “Stabbings initially drew little attention in Mich.” finally reveals that the suspected serial slasher is an Arab Christian…. that is, for the readers who will make it to the sixth paragraph. An old AP trick … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, After you treacherous “UN Prosecutor seeks video in Lebanon assassination” we now got a lengthy “UN gets Hezbollah ‘evidence’ on Israel-Hariri link.” Is it any better? Objections to the baseless and terrorists’ claim that Israel had murdered the Lebanese … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “$250K set bond for woman in pie attack on senator” is not kosher. We have to read into the penultimate of the five clauses to find out what happened. When we learn that they attacker supposedly went … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, A three paragraph report, “Sec’y Clinton tries dialing diplomacy for Mideast” is completely made up and reports nothing. From the opening sentence “to prod Israel and the Palestinians into direct peace talks” until the closing clause “the two … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Muslim gravestones removed from Jerusalem cemetery” is so biased, it’s pure propaganda – AGAINST Israel, of course. Only at the second paragraph we learn that the headline goes according to what some activists have claimed obscuring position … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, 1. Both in your video reports and in your written reporting as in “Stabbings suspect unlikely to return to Mich. soon,” you refuse to identify fully the suspected serial slasher as a Christian Arab. You have not trouble … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Bias is such a tricky thing. By now the whole world knows that a suspected serial killer was arrested when he was about to fly to his native Israel. Prejudice will say: “Is he a Jew or a … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Lebanon rejects US concerns over military help” is the follow-up of your “US military aid to Lebanon put on hold.” 1. In the earlier review (US military aid to Lebanon put on hold) we supplied AP with proof … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, You conclude your “Colombian ex-president to teach at Georgetown U” with this AP mantra: “Israel’s deadly raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla.” It was a self-defense interception, the deadliness came from self-defense, only on one boat a minority of … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In your Aug 11, Editorial Roundup: Excerpts From Recent Editorials, you present excerpts from Arab News, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on peace talks between the Palestinians Authority and Israel. The “Editorial: Crux of the problem” has two points: – … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, You purged your “US officials optimistic about direct talks” from your website and replaced it by “No agreement on direct Israel-Palestinian talks.” Did it become more truthful & real? The opening clause reveals that US optimism had been … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, You purged your “US officials optimistic about direct talks” from your website. It must fill revisionists with envy when they see how easily you rewrite history. Let’s try to find out why. In any case the reason cannot … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Israel defense minister opposes soldiers’ grilling” disappoints on three counts. A. Your rendering of Barak’s stand against soldiers having to testify is unintelligible. We will try to explain here what we think Barak must have said or … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “US Mideast envoy to press direct peace talks” seems to be an exercise in employing equivalence – the style-form that needs to hide the aggressor (so: the Arab side). Look at the ingenious use of the following words: … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, The anti-Israel-bias-circus in full swing in “Israel threatening to quit UN probe into flotilla.” Israel threatened – Later we see that it’s a reaction to what the UN said. a deadly raid – It was an interception and … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Hezbollah accuses Israel of Hariri assassination” makes us ask ourselves if AP would headline a speech by Hitler with “Nazi leader accuses Jews of inferiority” and then describe his points of view without any word against that. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, A story AP needs to carry is that this morning Netanyahu testifies for the Israeli commission about the fiasco and violence on one of the Gaza-bound Turkish ships. Will you ignore it anyway? Will you report his statements … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In “Rocket from Gaza hits Israeli city, no injuries” AP has been so busy explaining (away, or) that the attack wasn’t so bad (“rare, caused damage but no injuries”) that you forgot to report the news. Ashkelon is a large … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In “Israeli nuclear whistleblower out of prison again” you write that “he refuses to speak in public in his native Hebrew.” Calling him a whistleblower means that you are partial, because this honorary title is disputed by the … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Former HHS secretary questioned at Israeli airport” wonders why a former secretary of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department of Lebanese descent, now the president of the University of Miami, visiting Israel as part of a delegation … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Gaza power plant shuts down citing lack of fuel” fails to hide for our team the truth. You tried but you don’t succeed. “The plant serves Gaza City and its surroundings, while the remaining million people in the … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Turkish protest ship returns home” is a tiny report. Let’s see how much bias you got in. Turkish protest ship – The trouble was not the protest but the violence by a minority. deadly raid – The deadliness … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, It would be hard to point out bias in “Former West Bank militant stronghold gets cinema” because as a work of fiction it has very little resemblance with reality as apparent by most people in the know. It … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In your “Kids of 9/11 dead camp with teen victims of terror” we read “Some come from opposite sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” But then it stays eerily silent about these kids. Almost all of the terror victims … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, AP’s anti-Israel bias was alive and kicking in your “UN official: no overlap between 2 Israeli probes.” The headline is so skewered that nothing good could come from the whole report already. These investigations are supposed to investigate what … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In your “Fox gets front-row seat in White House press room” you find it necessary to quote Helen Thomas’ anti-Israel outburst partly and tuned down. However, we miss (again) any antidote against this hate speech. You cite qualifications … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Sorry to say that your “Israel to expel hundreds of migrant workers’ kids” is biased from the very headline. It reads like another humanitarian Israel made scandal. As you write yourself, the measure is not only to extradite … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In your “Jerusalem hosts subdued gay pride march” we did not discover anti-Israel bias and we are happy about that. That would have been true if this was a report in a local paper. But if it’s for … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Our previous UN disputes Lebanese claim Israel violated border review was very brief. We just pointed out the full scope of the news that you might not have had. You removed this report from your collection (after it … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Arab League backs Palestinians on restarting talks” doesn’t just have a spin – it’s a virtual pirouette. Israel is named a dozen times but never quoted until a token, blend sentence in paragraph 14. Israel is blamed … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, An earlier report “Israel says senior officer killed in Lebanon clash” was withdrawn by AP but still made it into 500 WWW sites. That report and its latest sequel “Lebanon, Israel clash near border; at least 4 dead” … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Outspoken British PM embroiled in diplomatic rows” is one of the worst AP reports that we have seen ever. You deserve a bad press about this the world over, and our time will come that AP will … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, This is a fine report except for…. the headline – again. And since most people will ONLY read the headline, this is most serious. “Peres: Croatian WWII camp was a show of `sadism’” was an unnecessary editorial choice, … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, A. In “Egypt: US assurances may boost direct peace talks” we have to go to the third sentence / paragraph to find the first bias. Should we be grateful for the first two? Look if you can find … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Israel won’t pay medical bill for wounded American” has no negative bias about Israel except for its headline. Now, a headline is what most people read, so it’s not a trivial thing! Doesn’t it sound unfriendly? Doesn’t it … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your tiny report “Israel, green group dispute Jordan River’s safety” lack two crucial pieces of information. This could be a simple oversight, but unfortunately all mistakes in AP Mideast reporting effect Israel’s image negatively, and are never in … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Frankly we don’t mind some European Prime Minister slandering Israel to get a warm reception from another anti-Semite. This has been a Gentile pastime by politicians for centuries and a proven way to cement friendship between the nations. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, 1. Exactly 4 days after an AP report that claimed that inappropriate dress can LEAD TO (sic) rape (of women) (Gaza flotilla has roots in pro-Palestinian group), we now have AP claiming that the discovery of natural gas … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Here is the sequel to your scandalous “Gaza flotilla has roots in pro-Palestinian group” in which we were educated that women should ask themselves if it’s not them that provoked rape. “Lying for sex _ old sin means … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In “After UN court ruling, fears of global separatism” Israel is curiously absent. While AP makes sure that Israel is in the news around the globe on a daily basis, when a lengthy analysis is given here about … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Israeli troops kill Palestinian at settlement” is another perfect example of AP spreading anti-Israel sentiments. You start with “Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian man entering a Jewish settlement in the West Bank on Thursday, drawing a … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Gaza flotilla has roots in pro-Palestinian group” is long and irredeemable. It could have been an interesting report on a group of anti-Israel foreign activists. (Oops – AP uses “activists” for terrorists. This is a problem AP must … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Abbas: Specific US assurances on borders needed” reminds us of the old Pravda. On and on, falsely accusing Israel, twisting words, suggestive words, biased words. Let’s ask other readers to find all examples and only then check them against … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Gaza family struggles to survive in a tent” is another sob-story about one of the “225 families [that] remain homeless, according to U.N. figures, caught in a mix of poverty, bureaucracy, and a border blockade.” Especially the word … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, The main thing that is wrong with your report “Some Gaza women smolder over Hamas’ water-pipe ban” is the headline itself. A horror story of tightening repression is wrapped up in a cute, sweet, puny banner. We almost … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, COMMENTARY 1 In the first sentence in “Turkey unveils its own drone plane for first time” we read: “Kurdish rebels are waging a deadly insurgency.” We would like to know WHY the Kurds would not be allowed statehood, … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “World parliaments criticize Israel, Cambodia” is again treating Israel as the world’s scapegoat with no right to defence. 1. We have reported to you before (http://apisraelwatch.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/israel-police-arrest-hamas-man-set-for-expulsion/) what is really the case with these three men. You ignore it. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Palestinian village to be encircled by barrier” is a mixed bag if ever there was one. At first sight, it seems a mainly fair, balanced report with some inflammatory language, but not the worst in the world. Is … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, We find your “Israel says images show Hezbollah’s intentions” completely shocking. 1. We see no reason why AP has to insert qualifiers like “The Israeli military says” and “alleged” around Israel’s newest military revelations. More than no reason, … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Arab League chief: no progress in indirect talks” has the same anti-Israel bias that we find in most AP reporting again. AP only quotes a couple of professional Jew-haters and leaves it at that. They talk about: … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Britain seeks to bolster ties with Turkey” has the same anti-Israel bias that we’ve pointed out to AP time and again. All the (unfair) accusations are there, and no rebuttal by Israel or AP. Israel as fair … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “3 Greenpeace activists disrupt Israel-bound ship” is a news flash rather than a report, that would be nothing special in an environmental action anywhere in the world. But because it denounces part of Israel’s government policy, it … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, For the third time we have the honor to address your report “Top Lebanese Shiite cleric Fadlallah dies at 75.” The first report had quite a disturbing paragraph. We mentioned it and you took it out. The second, … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Ah! Your mini report “Israeli settlements cover 42 percent of West Bank” has been expended – and the “reporter” has named herself: Amy Teibel! It’s always great to see how she uses her talents to further the causes … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, We have seen some very good work by Associated Press Writer KARIN LAUB, and so we dare to suggested that “Israel eases Gaza closure, but restrictions remain” is not written by her or at least not finalized by … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, I assume that “Israeli troops filmed dancing on duty in West Bank” was your response to our request to break the circle of negativity about Israel and show something positive. We value that attempt but question if you … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, Your “Longer blackouts for Gaza, as politicians quarrel ” brings to mind the old joke “How many Palestinians does it take to change a light bulb?” The answer being: None, they rather sit in the dark and blame … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, In Ask AP, we discovered the question “What’s the status of relations between Turkey and Israel?” and the answer by Josef Federman. The answer is not the worst in the world but still disappointing. Good idea to mention … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, We were right earlier, that the first version of “Palestinian leader gives interview to Israel media” was only the beginning of more to come. Amy Teibel needed 19 paragraphs or 679 words to depict president Abbas as reasonable … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, We just complained about “Turkey lays out conditions for better ties” that it stole four paragraphs from your star-reporter MATTI FRIEDMAN without any acknowledgment. And now we find the opposite: “Israel police arrest Hamas man set for expulsion” … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, It seems business as usual at AP with “In Gaza, looser blockade leaves smugglers in limbo” humming its familial anti-Israeli song. No less than 28 paragraphs long, it has only room for one and a half token sections … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Rival Hamas, UN summer camps compete over children” is a long report on some internal violence in Gaza with certain value. Especially it mentions facts that other AP reports have often denied. Unfortunately, it still has its problems. 1. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, We recognize the author of “Palestinians seek new partner: American Jews,” Associated Press Writer Josef Federman – always produces serious reports but also always with a slant – not the worst, not the best. No different this time. … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, “Racing Palestinian girls speed into record books” is a third AP report on the Middle-East that is largely fair and unbiased. It’s even fun as it focuses on a positive development in Palestinian society. We would love to … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, A democracy is going to expel four terrorist leaders. Let’s see what AP does with that. Oh, wait – the democracy is Israel. For that AP has a special recipe. “Israel to expel Hamas politicians from Jerusalem” is … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, This is your chance to show that you are impartial! You have paraded Ehud Barak, the U.S. State Department, Mahmoud Abbas, the U.N. and Saeb Erekat voicing their disapproval with the renovation plan by the Mayer of Jerusalem. The … Continue reading →

Dear Editor, With amazement we see how you let Amy Teibel make AP the laughing-stock of Middle-East reporting. Her “Jerusalem revives plan to raze Palestinian homes” is unprecedented in distortion and chutzpah! Renovations The mayor of Jerusalem, a business man and … Continue reading →
