Hundreds of Palestinians have been rioting on the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel, in the latest escalation orchestrated by Hamas.
Members of US-designated Palestinian terror groups burned tires and hurled explosives towards the security fence. Israeli civilians have described the situation as “ineffable suffering.” Nevertheless, the Associated Press has twice in the past week referred to the rioters and terrorists as “activists.”
Palestinian terrorist organizations have warned that “nightly harassment units” would intensify their efforts to harm Israelis, including through ongoing incendiary balloon attacks.
HonestReporting has called out the AP for its egregious use of “activists” to describe Gazans perpetrating violence. In response, the wire service announced it would “weigh whether they are best called Hamas fighters, militants or activists.”
