This is the consistent pattern of the establishment media. In every report without exception, AP and its comrades omit or distort facts in order to make Israel appear to be the aggressor. Israel stated from the beginning that it would not abide by Trump’s surrender deal, and would defend itself against Hizballah aggression. That aggression came swiftly, in the form of rocket and drone attacks, and Israel responded. Hizballah top dogs likely knew that they could count on the international media to portray them as the innocent victims of Israeli aggression, and AP, which for years shared its Gaza headquarters with Hamas, jumped into line.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Talks between the U.S. and Iran were called off Friday after intense fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, officials said, raising questions about an initial agreement to end the war in Iran.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance also postponed his trip.

Psychopaths do that daily and muzlims are psychopaths.

Mainstream media is censoring the truth about Islam.
David Lakatos says
Muslims are Satan’s perverts. Praising Allah while they rape you. Pedophilia is spread throughout Islam. Allah, the moon god, is in hell fornicating with his 72 virgins.
David Lakatos says
Islam is the religion of murdering Muhammafian jihadist slave traders.

Nobody loves a Crusader. Because we do Crusader stuff like kill the enemy.

In the end the world will either be in all respects universally guided by Western civilization, Biblical based Judeo-Christian precepts, the great philosophies of Jerusalem, Athens and Rome, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the American Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, an age of reason and progress all made possible by European and their progeny who created and populated America, the greatest country ever founded on the precepts that our rights come from our Creator. The GOD of the Bible. OR the world will be taken over and dominated by sick scum who follow a moon god and seek to emulate a pedophile whose so-called philosophy has been responsible for the murder of more human beings than the scum hitler, mao and Stalin combined. Not much of a choice but we shall see. Good does not prevail on its own and evil wins when good men stand by an do nothing. With God’s help maybe someday we rid the world of this evil perverse cult. It’s no religion in the real sense of the word
