"He said American staff on the sites monitor those coming to seek food and document anyone considered “suspicious.” He said they share such information with the #Israeli military.
Videos provided by one of the contractors and taken at the sites show hundreds of #Palestinians crowded between metal gates, jostling for aid amid the sound of bullets, stun grenades and the sting of pepper spray. Other videos include conversation between English-speaking men discussing how to disperse crowds and encouraging each other after bursts of gunfire."

"Several Palestinians and soldiers told the #AP that #Israeli troops are systematically forcing #Palestinians to act as human shields in #Gaza, sending them into buildings and tunnels to check for explosives or militants. The dangerous practice has become ubiquitous during 19 months of war, they said. "

"Then Khan Suri had to use the plane’s bathroom. He said the guards refused to unshackle his wrists.
“They said, ‘No, you have to use it like this or do it in your trousers,’” #KhanSuri recalled of the trip, taking him to a Louisiana detention center. “They were behaving as if we were animals.”"

"The AP Stylebook is considered “the foremost arbiter of grammar and word choice” for serious news and opinion writers, and it has sold more than 2.5 million copies since it was first published in 1953. It’s a basic resource in college journalism and editing courses, too, where students can be docked points on their assignments for failing to follow its guidelines. Simply put, it’s the industry standard—and that fact gives the people who write and edit the Stylebook a lot of power to shape both news coverage and the political narratives around it.
The Associated Press, of course, denies that it’s a political institution. Like many professional organizations, it claims that its decisions are “factual and nonpartisan” and that its Stylebook “doesn’t align with any particular agenda.” But we should always be wary of people and groups who loudly proclaim themselves neutral—because they rarely are. Instead, they usually have unspoken biases and ideologies that shape their work, whether the people involved realize it or not. The Associated Press is no different. When we dig into the latest edition of the Stylebook, we can find all kinds of material that expresses a political viewpoint—or suppresses one. From the environment, to immigration, to policing, to Palestine, the AP Stylebook serves to reinforce the status quo and prevent writers from telling the truth about today’s most important issues."

"NEW YORK (#AP) — Less than three weeks after his release from an immigration jail, the #Palestinian activist #MohsenMahdawi strode across the graduation stage at #ColumbiaUniversity on Monday morning, savoring a moment the #Trump administration had fought to make impossible.
Draped in a keffiyeh, Mahdawi, 34, paused to listen to the swell of cheers from his fellow graduates. Then he joined a vigil just outside #Columbia’s gates, raising a photograph of his classmate Mahmoud Khalil, who remains in federal custody."

Israel says it will allow ‘basic’ aid into Gaza after nearly 3 months of blockade
from #AssociatedPress #AP #APNews
Updated 5:30 PM EDT, May 18, 2025
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — #Israel announced Sunday it will allow a limited amount of humanitarian aid into #Gaza after a nearly three-month blockade, days after global experts on food security warned of famine.
...
It was not immediately clear when aid would enter Gaza, or how. The #Israeli military body in charge of overseeing aid did not comment. Israel has been trying to impose a new aid system, despite objections by aid workers. #Netanyahu said Israel would work to ensure that aid does not reach militants.

…The #Trump admin has taken an assertive approach in dealing w/the #news #media, including restricting the #AssociatedPress's #access to the White House over its decision to refer to the Gulf of Mexico & taking control of the White House #PressPool, a function previously performed by the White House Correspondents' Association.

"#Israel is staging a massive offensive across four major refugee camps in the north of the #WestBank. The raids, at their height, pushed 40,000 people from their homes. Many are now sheltering with relatives in neighboring villages, others racking up debt renting apartments while they wait to return.
#Israeli officials, meanwhile, have said those displaced will not be allowed to go back for at least a year."

A Trump-appointed U.S. federal judge who ordered the White House to allow the Associated Press back into the press pool says he cannot stop the administration from enforcing a new rule that eliminates a permanent slot for wire services like the AP. Read more about the decision from @TheHill

Weißes Haus schränkt Zugang für Nachrichtenagenturen ein
Bisher hatten Nachrichtenagenturen einen festen Platz in jenem Kreis von Reportern, der dem US-Präsidenten folgt. Nun verlieren nach der AP auch Bloomberg und Reuters dieses Privileg. Das Weiße Haus will den engsten Presse-Pool selbst bestimmen.
After officially ousting out lesbian black TV comedianne #AmberRuffin as confirmed host, the thin skinned US President himself is not even expected to attend next weekend’s annual #WhiteHouse correspondents’ dinner.
The #Drumpf admin has been particularly sensitive to negative press, threatening to jail journalists, and even ousting long time #PressPool members, including a ban on the entire #AssociatedPress org from events for continuing centuries of precedence and refering to the #GulfOfMexico instead of the President's preferred term “Gulf of America”.
https://www.krqe.com/news/politics/trump-not-expected-to-attend-white-house-correspondents-dinner/
In the legal standoff between #Trump & The #AssociatedPress, the admin acknowledged in a filing just now that as of today, Trump was required to begin letting #AP journalists back in the WH #press pool to cover daily events. Acc/to the schedule released by the WH, neither a print reporter nor a photographer from the AP is part of the pool covering Trump’s meeting w/Bukele or other events today.
