    I don't watch or listen to BBC News but Ch4 News always begin any reporting of Hamas with something like "Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organisation by the UK...". Gets a bit tedious after a while but there you go.

    Are you saying that the BBC never refers to them as a proscribed terrorist organisation? Or just not as often as you'd like?
    No, the BBC refers to them the same way as Ch4, although that doesn't suit those who don't like to listen.

      If Palestinians get rid of Hamas then they will have the hostages won't they?
      Ok, so today, right now, how do "Palestinians" get rid of "Hamas"?
      And as a bonus question, who will then defend the Palestinians if everyone with a weapon has been got rid of?

        Try reading my posts I have suggested multiple ways.

        Israel will look after them of course, its not like the other surrounding Muslim countries like them much except the billionaire Hamas etc leaders.


        I will ask again as you avoided answering the question:

        Do you believe Hamas & other terrorist organisations in the area should be eliminated?

          only 409 times out of 12000 reports - try reading the findings not making tulip up, you aren't Hamas or the BBC,

            So, every time a BBC presenter/reporter says the word "Hamas", you want them to follow that with "who are proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK"?

            Tedious but if that's what you want...

              Not everytime - no one has ever said that??

              Just do not have a complete ban on referring to them as a terrorist group.
              And where applicable apply the label as every other broadcaster does.
              why are you trying to defend this?

              Hamas are a designated terrorist group. The bbc refuse to acknoweldge this - unlike every other broadcaster (bar Al jezeera)

                There are many people who support Israel and consider Netanyahu to be criminal, power hungry and corrupt. I'm also pretty sure that even under a more moderate, less corrupt leader, Israel would have gone in hard into Gaza in response to 7.10.2023. Whether they'd still be there is another question.

                  Even Switzerland are wanting categorise them as a criminal terrorist organisation https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/swiss-p...years/87491275

                  Hamas is the richest terrorist organisation in the world. Shame they couldn't spend the money improving the lives of the people they govern.

                    You say "the bbc refuses to acknowledge this" and yet every news bulletin that I have watched, when they refer to Hamas, at least once they will say "who are designated a terrorist organisation..."
                    Is that "refusing to acknowledge, or am I imagining they are saying it because you say they refuse to say it?

                      Do you believe Hamas & other terrorist organisations in the area should be eliminated?
                      Try reading my posts since you refuse to answer any questions, then deflect back to shouting a question you have shouted so many times before, yet you never read the answer each time I give it. There's no point in me answering it any more, it's shameful that you keep asking, like you think you're being clever, when it's rather offensive.
                      But I forgive you.


                      How do you eliminate terrorist organisations?
                      How do you define who is an active member, who is a supporter, who is forced to support them? Kill them all, because that's the safest option?
                      The people in the US who gave money to Noraid to buy guns and semtex that killed military and civilians in the 1970s-2000s, are those people terrorists? Should they be "eliminated" too?
                      When is one man's terrorist another man's freedom fighter?
                      This idea of eliminating anyone that you don't like, where would you stop on the "slippery slope" to use the Fail phrase?
