This excerpt is from the end, but if you have the time the whole piece is worth the read:

To recap, the Associated Press claims it “had no indication Hamas was in the building or active in the building” the IDF leveled this weekend. U.S. Secretary of State Blinken likewise says he has seen no evidence Hamas used the high-rise to wage war on Israel. The Israeli army, Pollack, Vietor, and Prime Minister Netanyahu claim the exact opposite. Moreover, Friedman’s reporting suggests the Associated Press may even be lying about what it knows, as its Jerusalem bureau was reportedly beaten into submission long ago by cunning and ruthless Hamas operatives.

The only way the Associated Press escapes this episode without serious long-term reputational damage is if the Israeli army is wrong.

Because if the IDF is correct, and the Associated Press genuinely had no idea its Jerusalem bureau shared office space with Hamas, then the news organization is inexcusably bad at its job. Imagine you’re a newsroom with the size and influence of the Associated Press and you honestly had no idea a terrorist group was running an intelligence operation right under your nose.

And if the IDF is correct, and the Associated Press is lying about what it knows, then the newsgroup is an irredeemably corrupt organization.

Put more simply, if the IDF is correct, then the Associated Press either is too stupid or too dishonest to be trusted with the news.

The Associated Press better pray the Israeli army is wrong.

The Associated Press better hope the Israeli army screwed up
