Of course, the politically correct term is freedom r*pists and freedom butchers.

Someone needs to remind the BBC Hamas is literally an internationally recognized terrorist organization. There’s no journalistic integrity left in this world.

It’s actually good to not call them terrorists but instead the legitimate rulers of Gaza. That way people can’t deflect any criticism by holding Israel to a higher standard that poor uneducated “terrorists” who don’t know any better.
If they are referred as being legitimate then people can’t downplay their war crimes.

Just FYI this isn’t new, it’s always been the BBC’s policy not to directly use the term terrorist. They will use it if they’re quoting someone else.
Is the correct term, “people who engage in terrorism” instead of terrorists?

They are terrorists. Alwasy have been. To say otherwise is a blatant lie.

BBC watched what happened with Charlie Hebdo and thought, “but we’re the good ones”

The BBC are disgusting.

The CBC here in Canada doesn’t call them terrorists even though the Canadian government labels them a terrorist organization. I guess CBC and BBC have the same rot infecting them
Wtf is this. Along with Kay Burley saying a ‘Hamas are terrorists’ hoodie is ‘incitement’!

Jeremy Corbyn would make a great BBC head at this rate.

And how are they supposed to be described or referred to?

What’s the BBC? Didn’t that used to be a British news organization? It’s a real pity it turned into a propaganda machine for snowflakes and terrorists.

That is just stupid. If hamas are not terrorists, BBC is not a trusted news organization.

I really don’t understand, why is the BBC doing this and what do they have to gain from it? Even the most pro-Palestinian random college protester knows that Hamas is pure evil

Call them whatever you want – they attacked and intentionally killed civilians and soldiers alike – so now they get to find out what happens when you attack a superior force.

For the Left, the guerrilla is always right, no matter the horrendous crimes it commits.

Why is it just some nameless “BBC told”
*Who* at the BBC told?

The BBC has a statutory duty to be impartial and can be fined for not doing so, however no court in the land is going to enforce that in this instance. I guarantee this is some management idiot at the BBC who knows about the statutory duty, is too stupid to consider it intelligently and had to get their 2 pence in at some meeting.
