“I know nothing” was the comic catchphrase of Sgt. Schultz on Hogan’s Heroes. He occasionally varied or elaborated on it, adding “I see nothing.” In the clip below, for example, he declares, “I see nothing. I was not here. I did not even get up this morning.”
After its customary warning to protect civilian life, the IDF took out the 12-story Jala Tower housing Hamas military intelligence offices as well as offices for Al Jazeera and the Associated Press. As far as I can tell from reports such as this photo-filled story in the Daily Mail, no lives were lost in the bombing.
By contrast with Sgt. Schultz, the AP’s alleged cluelessness lacks a comic element. Taking the AP seriously, I demand evidence that the AP didn’t know it was holed up with genocidal terrorists. If such proof is forthcoming, I demand proof that the AP is a bona fide news organization.
Absent such proof, we may have to limit ourselves to a demonstration of the internal contradictions of the Associated Press. The invaluable Andy Ngo provides it in the devastating tweet below.
The Biden administration nevertheless found the occasion fit to lecture Israel yesterday “that ensuring the safety and security of journalists and independent media is a paramount responsibility.” According to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli authorities have showed Biden administration officials the “smoking gun” proving that Hamas worked out of the building. I demand proof that intelligent life exists within the Biden administration.
Hearing of Israel’s treatment of the building as a target, I wondered about the cluelessness of the AP. The AP, however, thinks it is in a position to bitch and make demands of its own. In the statement embedded in the tweet below, the AP goes full Sgt. Schultz on us.

Yep, either the AP knew and was lying ... or the AP's too stupid to be considered a 'news' organization...
Translation:
Junta puppeteers Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice have The Sadz that their terrorist buddies got inconvenienced...
Israel showed US ‘smoking gun’ on Hamas in AP office tower, officials say
“We showed them the smoking gun proving Hamas worked out of that building,” a source close to Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi said. “I understand they found the explanation satisfactory.”
Israel shared intelligence with the US showing how Hamas operated inside the same building with the Associated Press and Al-Jazeera in Gaza, officials in Jerusalem said on Sunday.
Officials in more than one government office confirmed that US President Joe Biden’s phone call to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday was, in part, about the bombing of the building, and that Israel showed Biden and American officials the intelligence behind the action.
“We showed them the smoking gun proving Hamas worked out of that building,” a senior diplomatic source said. “I understand they found the explanation satisfactory.”
Another senior Israeli official admitted that the fact that the bombing took place two days after a tweet by the IDF misled some foreign media into reporting that ground troops had entered Gaza made the situation more difficult from a public diplomacy perspective.
Surprised? I’m not.
I just posted a couple of comments on local propaganda outlet about how AZ election is UNLAWFUL for deleting database 10 days before audit, violating election materials election law. Then the fact that Dominion has a higher logon access to the voting machines than the state, rendering the election UNLAWFUL. And this was before they started counting the ballots. And of course the logs of ballot access by poll workers was missing, or inaccurate, or misplaced; this also renders the election UNLAWFUL. I doubt it will be published.
“By contrast with Sgt. Schultz, the AP’s alleged cluelessness lacks a comic element.”
It will take on a comic element after this era of media dominance is over making way for some smart comedians to mock it. At the moment the oppressors are in charge
They’ll lose. They’re wrong.
I’ll go with your first conclusion.
MSM and Biden administration are all lying POSs.
Oh, AP knew exactly what was happening. Make NO mistake about that. Exactly like CNN knew about Saddam Hussein’s tossing dissidents into wood chippers. All they care about is The Agenda. Nothing else matters.
<< “Focusing on rioting and property destruction rather than underlying grievance has been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people protesting against lynching, police brutality or for racial justice, going back to the urban uprisings of the 1960s.” >> - the AP
Yes, the poor dears (Hamas and Co.) and their vibrant culture have been stigmatized and marginalized and victimized by Zionist white supremacist racist Islamophobic imperialists, duh.
Biden says he didn’t know people smoked guns.
AP reporter Matti Friedman wrote in The Atlantic: “Hamas understood that reporters could be intimidated when necessary and that they would not report the intimidation... The AP staff in Gaza City would witness a rocket launch right beside their office, endangering reporters and other civilians nearby – and the AP wouldn’t report it, not even in AP articles about Israeli claims that Hamas was launching rockets from residential areas.”
And his kid has smoked everything.
Sure you’re on the right thread?
I remember in the early 80s seeing some kind of pot pipe that looked like a gun and the barrel went in the mouth. Everyone who saw it said, no thanks.
I wish someone like Catherine herridge perhaps, or some bulldog of a reporter would investigate and report on that and expose 5he ap for the world to see. Get the goods so there can be absolutely no way to deny it.
“THE AP GOES SGT. SCHULTZ”
Impossible! Schultz had a heart of gold, was an all round good guy and funny as hell!
If I were head of Israeli Intelligence, I would be hesitant to share anything with the U.S., considering the current administration.
