None of these inconvenient facts were in the AP article.
What else was not in this article?
• Israeli police entered Jenin to arrest Jihadi murderers of 9 Israelis, among the victims Vyacheslav Golev who died defending his fiancée, Victoria from the Palestinian killers.
• Decorated Israeli paratrooper Noam Raz was killed in the fighting. Where is the AP article glorifying him?
• One of the Al Jazeera journalists confronting Israeli police was shot in the back, this means, by the Palestinian rioters with whom he stood shoulder-to-shoulder.
• During the IDF operation in Jenin, hundreds of bullets were shot at Israeli troops, who responded by firing dozens of bullets at specific targets. Most of the Israeli fire was directed southwards, while Abu Akleh was positioned to the north of the Israeli forces
• Five Jihadi murderers were arrested.
• Palestinians at Akleh’s funeral rioted attacking Israeli police with rocks and bricks. Rioters took Shireen Abu Akleh's casket at the hospital against her family’s wishes.
