AP Comes Under Fire for Reporting on Antisemitism, and This Time It's Over a Particularly Heinous Crime

The Associated Press has certainly engaged in problematic coverage on Israel and antisemitism, including and especially when it comes to the Israel-Hamas war.

This has extended to other international news stories though, including the news of the gang rape of a 12-year-old girl in France.

"As France reels from alleged rape of a Jewish girl, antisemitism comes to fore in election campaign" read a headline from last Friday.

Fourthly is this.

This is beyond irrelevant to the subject at hand: the brutal gang rape of a French Jewish girl and issues of violent antisemitism in France.

Grotesque that-even on the subject of a French Jew being gang raped-the AP still needed to get a dig in at Israel. pic.twitter.com/xbmBWHUI9u
