As it turns out, they’re liars AND bad journalists. An Atlantic story from 2014 from the last major escalation of tensions in Gaza appears to indicate at the time Associated Press reporters in the building were well-aware that Hamas operated right next to them.

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. (This happened.) Hamas fighters would burst into the AP’s Gaza bureau and threaten the staff—and the AP wouldn’t report it. (This also happened.) Cameramen waiting outside Shifa Hospital in Gaza City would film the arrival of civilian casualties and then, at a signal from an official, turn off their cameras when wounded and dead fighters came in, helping Hamas maintain the illusion that only civilians were dying.

Enjoy. The proof you wanted....

OK thanks- the cameramen videotaping wounded arriving is good, but the rest amounts really to an ‘eyewitness account of what happened and can be denied by the ap unfortunately. If there was video proof of hamas threatening the staff, this would be solid proof that they couldn’t deny, and would be forced to address.

I’m not discounting the eyewitness at all, and it’s good that this story is out there, but the left are scum and wiggle out of everything. Would be nice to have video proof that the AP was ordered by hamas. But even then, facts don’t mean much anymore, like when the officerwas forced to shoot the girl that was stabbing someone. The left just ignored the facts and accused the cop of murder. The left are shameless liars.
