    Important context: the synagogue in question was holding a real estate sale for land allegedly stolen from Palestinians in the West Bank.

    This protest was not against Jews praying at a synagogue. This protest was not antisemitic. This was a protest against the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and against settlements that Biden’s own administration considers illegal.

    But I suppose the AP doesn’t consider that relevant information.

      The solidarity on this is insane. The powerful and influential have seemingly locked arms to prevent anyone stopping the erasure of Palestine. Bombing Bethlehem has never been so profitable.

        I mean . . . It’s a different kind of spin. The facts reported - such as can be verified - usually are real facts.

        That’s more than a lot of other “outlets” have. After that though, it gets a little slant-y.

      There is an awful lot of things that AP, as well as Reuters and AFP feel is stuff you don’t need to know.

      You act like Biden cares about US or international law…

      I used to think he did, but he clearly doesn’t.
