The main Associated Press reporter in Gaza covering the war was suspended from his duties while the wire service looks into his previous social media posts, which include comments calling for the "fall" of Israel and comparing the world's only Jewish state to Nazis. Issam Adwan has made numerous comments against Israel, which were highlighted last week by Honest Reporting, an Israel media watchdog. In an October 2022 post on X, formerly Twitter, Adwan said that Israel was a "racist regime that is so similar to the Nazis." The post has since been deleted.

I didn't know who the ap's main reporter in Gaza was but figured it wouldn't be anyone named Smith or Jones. Exactly what did they expect from someone named Issam Adwan?

Just suspended? Why isn’t he fired? As Don Surber calls it, “the Hamas loving AP”.

Suspended. Probably will be back getting paid Monday. If a reporter had supported gun rights, or Trump....he'd have been fired.

The Associated Press USED TO BE the most accurate and unbiased of all news media. Now it's a garbage operation with almost nothing but one-sided "reporting." I would not trust anything they say.

This is probably a stupid question, but don’t news organizations look into the writings and rantings of employees and prospective employees? As an editor I would certainly want to know if an employee had a biased outlook on news. If one cannot report without bias they’re not a journalist, they are an opinion writer.

If a few of these middle eastern reporters were Jewish or even perhaps of European background there might, or might not, be more balanced reporting. If you have Muslim or middle eastern nationals reporting don't be surprised if they side with the Muslims and the Middle Eastern sentiments. I don't hold these people as false they are true to their side of the conflict. Few people can maintain independence of thought regarding Israel. I admit to being prejudiced for Israel, while recognizing that they are human like everybody else and prone to sin. If you lived for seventy years under constant threat of annihilation by several hundred million people who clamor for your death and destruction you might become hardened and prone to react violently to any attacks.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry claimed Monday that Hamas was ready to release its hostages if Israel ceases its airstrikes along the Gaza Strip — as the number known to have been taken by the terrorist group rose to at least 199. Hamas officials are “ready” to release hostages, but doing so would be “impossible” under Israeli airstrikes in the region, Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kanaani relayed at a news conference in Tehran. The terror group “stated that they are ready to take necessary measures to release the citizens and civilians held by resistant groups, but their point was that such measures require preparations that are impossible under daily bombardment by the Zionists

The patterns of the anti-Semitic/Marxist/”Palestinian”/LGBTQ/BLM/hate-filled alliance are nothing if not predictable. After expressing shock and dismay that their Palestinian friends in Gaza specifically targeted civilians, in under a week, they have quickly shifted back to their repeated old rhetoric. They are now blaming Israel for the horrific attacks from Hamas, calling Israel’s counter-attacks on Hamas a “terrorist siege,” blitzing the media with images of wounded from Gaza, and attacking Israel in all ways as an ‘apartheid state’ and, as Ocasio Cortez defined Israel, a nation devoted to “ethnic cleansing”. We cannot let them try to control the narrative with their blatant lies. The best way to dismiss falsities is to educate.

Republican Jeff Landry won a landslide election on Saturday to flip the Louisiana governor’s mansion red in one of three main gubernatorial elections this year, shocking political observers with a victory that saves him the trouble of having to face a Democrat in a November runoff. Landry defeated Democrat Shawn Wilson and the rest of the field in Louisiana’s gubernatorial election, winning about 52 percent of the vote. In Louisiana, governor elections are first open to a full field of all candidates from either party in what is known as a jungle primary—and then the two top vote-getters generally advance to a runoff a month later.

Since August 2021, the sprawling Obama Presidential Center complex has been taking shape in Jackson Park on what will be a 19.3 acre campus fronting on Stony Island Avenue and stretching from 62nd Street on the south to 59th Street on the north. For months, the rising tower — which will house the museum dedicated to former President Barack Obama — has been visible to the surrounding Hyde Park neighborhood, already tall enough to call it a South Side landmark. On Monday when I visited, the concrete shaping and supporting the tower, which will be the center’s signature structure, was still about 85 feet shy of its ultimate 235-foot height.
