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.

???? They call neo-nazis terrorists.

Because they unambiguously are. Nobody reasonable is debating that. We're never going to look back and say "actually they were right"

So burning babies is ambiguous to you?

The lack of self awareness is almost as funny as the liberal fascist siding with the nazis.
