Not in that region. They are fully aligned with Hamas.

Agreed. I'm not into funding any country in the middle east, but if I'm going to, it certainly shouldn't be to fund both sides of a stupid proxy war that would be settled in two days if everyone else stopped getting involved.

"A media outlet working under the influence of a terrorist organization is more trustworthy than Israel" is a clown statement.

USS Liberty. Israeli forces attacked the ship with the intent of blaming Egypt so that the US would attack Egypt. Unfortunately, the attack wasn't completely successful and the US sailors confirmed that it was an Israeli attack. Israel then pivoted their lies to "oh, oopsy, we thought the USS Liberty was an Egyptian vessel."

The AP is about as trustworthy as a used car salesmen even in the US. In Gaza, they were purely a propaganda wing for one of the most notorious terrorist organizations in the world.

Is Hamas and the AP more trustworthy to you? Because anything that comes from them is suspect.
Both sides lie and have done some messed up stuff..both are on equal footing for me. Pull all aide to Israel and let see what happens. I am fine with that.

Israel is best friends with Azerbaijan, sold them a frick ton of weapons that the Azeris used in their quick war with Armenia. Turkey and Azerbaijan have a “two states one nation” relationship. Russia is close with both the Azeris and Armenians. It’s all a mess over there and will always be a mess.

If the US turned their back on Isreal, they'd roll over their neighbors. We are the ones quietly holding onto that leash.
We send them cash and weapons in exchange for them not going absolutely batshit every time Hamas lobs a missile at them.

I'm not going to do simple research for you. This is an extremely well-known incident that happened over 50 years ago.

It absolutely is, and there is a reason it's not more well-known.

Interesting that you would lump and compare nation states with a "news" organization...
Your idea of "trust" is quite misplaced. To begin with Israel is no different than any nation state in that they do generally what is in their best interests. So in that sense, they are exactly the same as any nation state. The only difference is when any specific nation states interests either align or conflict with ours. So in that regard, what is there to "trust". Its really a matter of understanding the decision making priorities of any given nation. Not "trust".
The AP on the other hand, at least in theory, makes their living on dispensing information (news..) that is objective. Clearly objectivity has not been high on AP's priority list.

54 years. It's well known, but the intent is speculative.
And a lot has changed in geopolitics in 54 years. The AP in that region is fully aligned with Hamas today. And Hamas is by all accounts a terrorist organization that regularly hides behind innocent civilians.

We are aware of the USS Liberty attack. I think we are just amused that the same poster that actually believes a propaganda organization "knows" that the attack was deliberate and not a garden variety frick up.

The US government funded the development of Raytheon’s Iron Dome. Cut the Israeli’s off financially and see what happens to them. The idea that they are some kind of democracy amidst theocracy is a joke. They are a theocratic Jewish state with no resources that benefit America. At least the Saudi’s have oil.
