AP: Yup, Humanitarian Crisis Intentionally Caused By Hamas Is Still Israel's Fault
No matter what side you're on, you have to appreciate the sheer elegance of using a phrase like "Israel cites attempts by Palestinians to attack" the roadblocks - as if, you know, of course the evil Zionists would say something like that. It's an every so slightly inaccurate way to describe what's really going on - which is that Hamas outright declared that they will kill thousands of Palestinians by bombing the hell out of the crossings if Israel opens them. Why would Hamas openly threaten to kill thousands of their own civilians? Partly because they're confident that the AP will report it - with an air of skepticism - as " Israel, which cites attempts by Palestinian militants to attack them."
You can also file this article whereever you keep your collection of AP stories that mention the lack of food in Gaza but forget to mention that Hamas has banned Israeli produce.
