O/T:- Palestine / Israel

[SmiffyPie]

The world and Notts MAD argue about semantics while the harsh reality is enacted out costing hundreds of innocent lives. Hamas are evil and represent Iran fighting a proxy war to get rid of the state of Israel. To celebrate their actions is beyond any understanding and not something a true Palestinian supporter would do.
However, the world should not be blind to Netanyahu who is snaring Gazans by closing borders then sending in the military with its full firepower. For years now, this man and the Likud Party have been denying Palestinians the self-determination Israel signed up to in the Oslo Accord. Of all the nations to deny compassion and understanding to the dispossessed, the Jewish is the most shocking after their experiences in the Second World War.

Agree completely however, like the innocent Palestinians there are many innocent Jewish people. Both are caught between the rock of hatred and the hard place of extremism.

I'm curious. Exactly why do you consider it 'a load of tripe'? The BBC, specifically news and current affairs-wise, has a strict set of rules to adhere to, and always has had them. Surely you're not surprised to learn this?

I wouldn’t believe anything the BBC told me tbh, yep, a strict set of rules! 🙄

Under its charter, it is committed to the destruction of Israel.

Hamas as a whole, or in some cases its military wing, is designated a terrorist group by Israel, the United States, European Union and United Kingdom, as well as other powers.

How clearly have the BBC stated the above in reporting the current conflict?

[Magpies1959]

Everything Hamas did in the recent attack, was almost a word perfect description of a 'Terrorist'. What is so difficult about reporting these actions as terrorist attacks. They are the only msm news outlet, not to name them so. Their strict set of rules must have gone by the way side when discussing the recent Lawrence Fox incident, lmao. I am curious to know, Swale, if you consider Hamas actions, or even Hamas, to be terrorist/s

The BBC had no hesitation in Calling Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris terrorists.

I’ll start with what I think is the most recent apart from the current controversy- Nigel Farage - Simon Jack - Courts Bank -Alison Rose - Peter Flavell

It would seem there are quite a lot of Anti-Beebists among us. Sorry if my post upset you all!

[Magpies1959]

Nothing to do with being anti Beebist, Swale. There is no ambiguity as to what a terrorist is, and no reason why the BBC cannot call Hamas exactly what they are.
I am glad you feel you are able to put a laughing emoji, when discussing an abhorrent act by a group of people with no respect for human beings.
