Here we go again.
@AP
APs story on Israel's alleged use of human shields is a repeat of an identical story from 2024 that appeared in
@nytimes @washingtonpost CNN guardian. Even down to the same decontextualized photos supplied by politicized NGO
@BtSIsrael

All 5 stories use Breaking the Silence, whose critics repeatedly allege, appears to frequently rely on “either fabricated or exaggerated” testimonies from former soldiers & are “motivated by financial & political concerns to further a pro-Palestinian agenda.”

That Breaking the Silence is the source for 5 virtually identical media stories in the past several months demonstrates how this is an organized campaign by the highly politicized org and is a prime example of the symbiotic relationship between agenda-driven NGOs and the media.
