NEW YORK (AP) — An Israeli airstrike destroyed a high-rise building in Gaza City that housed offices of The Associated Press and other media outlets on Saturday. All AP employees and freelancers evacuated the building safely.

 

AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt has released the following statement:

 

We are shocked and horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing AP’s bureau and other news organizations in Gaza. They have long known the location of our bureau and knew journalists were there. We received a warning that the building would be hit.

 

We are seeking information from the Israeli government and are engaged with the U.S. State Department to try to learn more.

 

This is an incredibly disturbing development. We narrowly avoided a terrible loss of life. A dozen AP journalists and freelancers were inside the building and thankfully we were able to evacuate them in time.

 

The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today.

So, there are only 3 Democrats who support Israel nowadays

President Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer appear to be at odds with a vocal segment of the Democratic Party that has criticized Israel's actions toward the Palestinians amid the region's escalating conflict.

 

The rift between Democratic leaders and many more-progressive Democrat members is notable, as support for Israel's government has long been viewed as largely bipartisan in Washington. Now, many Democratic lawmakers are vocally raising concerns about the treatment of Palestinians and human rights abuses committed by Israel—concerns that were long downplayed by Republicans and Democrats alike. This shift aligns with efforts of many progressive activists.

 

The group Jewish Voice for Peace, a Jewish-American organization that advocates for Palestinian rights, plans to hold a demonstration outside Schumer's New York home on Friday evening. The progressive activists will demand that Schumer and other lawmakers commit to ending U.S. military support for Israel and call for an end to Israeli strikes targeting Palestinians.

I felt this way watching our chapters and members show up: our Bay Area chapter mobilizing alongside partners to make sure Palestinian history was included in the California Department of Education’s Model Ethnic Studies Curriculum, our member leaders in Minneapolis and all around the U.S. supporting and joining the historic Black-led uprisings, our BDS campaign wins, and all the ways we’ve shifted our community education and organizing to digital spaces. In the midst of one of the most profound periods of change to life as we know it, JVP has been a vibrant political and spiritual home for ever more American Jews and allies.
