Why BBC doesn't call Hamas militants 'terrorists' - John Simpson

I guess not strictly news - but with all of the vitriol I have seen in discussions on the Israel situation, that have boiled down to arguments over wording, I feel that this take from the BBC is worthy of some discussion.

Mods, feel free to remove if this is not newsy enough.

Lmao what? Terrorists isn't a adjective. And its not a personal bias its a fact https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_designated_terrorist_groups

Alright, buddy… quit while you’re behind.

“Hamas is a terrorist organization”. Help me spot the adjective there, cowboy.
