From the Militant Islam Monitor:
" According to AP writer Ibrahim Barzak the terrorists of Hamas are just a harmless 'anti Israel group' which is being forced to kill Jews because of President Bush that made them do it."--2005
There is more from Honest Reporting:
"AP's Rockets And Victims"--2003
"The Associated Press -- the world's most broadly syndicated news agency -- employs reporters Hassan Fattah and Ibrahim Barzak to cover activities in Gaza. The following AP dispatch reveals a palpable bias: ● On March 6, AP tried to downplay the necessity of IDF activity in Gaza:"- Click the link to Honest Reporting to read the full report. With all of this documented anti-Israel bias and media distortion, Yahoo has no problem publishing this article by Ibrahim Barzak. Here is an excerpt from the Yahoo article by Barzak: "The strikes caused widespread panic and confusion in Gaza, as black clouds of smoke rose above the territory, ruled by Hamas for the past 18 months. Some of the Israeli missiles struck in densely populated areas as children were leaving school, and women rushed into the streets frantically looking for their children." "My son is gone, my son is gone," wailed Said Masri, a 57-year-old shopkeeper, as he sat in the middle of a Gaza City street, slapping his face and covering his head with dust from a bombed-out security compound nearby." "He said he had sent his 9-year-old son out to purchase cigarettes minutes before the airstrikes began and now could not find him. "May I burn like the cigarettes, may Israel burn," Masri moaned" Caution, it is not known how accurate any of those details are. However, what Barzak fails to mention is that this population in Gaza voted the Hamas terrorist organization into power there. Hamas derives it's support from that population. Those densely populated areas are densley populated with jihadists and their supporters.




















I noticed the exact same thing, so I googled 'yahoo anti Israel,' and found your site. Interesting.
