Top network issues surreal memo: Don't refer to Hamas as 'terrorists'
WND News Center ^ | October 8, 2023 | Joe Kovacs

A major broadcaster in North America is reportedly instructing its journalists not to refer to Hamas attackers as "terrorists."

...

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, or CBC, which issued an internal memo over the weekend in the wake of Hamas' onslaught of killings and kidnappings in Israel, with more than 700 murdered and at least 2,300 wounded.

...

written by CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corp) employee George Achi instructing reporters to:

1. not to mention Gaza has not been occupied since 2005.

2. not refer to Palestinian terrorists as terrorists..

...

do not describe 2005 as 'the end of the occupation' as Israel has maintained control over airspace, seafront and virtually all movement into or out of the area,"

...

Ironically, Canada has listed Hamas as a terrorist entity since Nov. 27, 2002, and even reviewed that listing on June 4, 2021.

The Canadian government says: "Hamas, the Arabic acronym for the group Harakat Al-Muqawama Al-Islamiya, is a radical Islamist-nationalist terrorist organization that emerged from the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1987. It uses political and violent means to pursue its goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in Israel.

...

Since 1990, Hamas has been responsible for terrorist attacks against both civilian and military targets. Hamas has been one of the primary groups involved in suicide bombings aimed at Israelis since the start of the Al-Aqsa intifada in September 2000. In 2006, Hamas participated in and won Palestinian parliamentary elections, leading to negotiations between the group and the Palestinian Authority over the establishment of a unity government. In 2007, however, Hamas overthrew the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip and seized power of the coastal territory. Although the group's political leadership resides in Damascus, Hamas uses the Gaza Strip as a base for terrorist operations aimed against Israel."

Don't call the terrorists, terrorists?

Yet another example of the brainwashing media in action. .

Hamas’ name is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya, or Islamic resistance movement. Hamas rejects Israel’s right to exist and is dedicated instead to the creation of a Palestinian country in the region. They have been actively attacking Israel for this reason since late 1973 when they split from the Muslim Brotherhood and their origins can be traced to the MB as far back as 1928.

Iran has been a generous supporter of Hamas for a number of years in terms of financial assistance and military hardware. This particularly is the case with missiles. Other supporters are Syria and the Sudan. Iran has supplied such missiles as the FAJR 3 and 5 and M302’s, and assisted in the delivery of missiles as big as the AYYASH 250 actively since 2008.

So, HAMAS acquires arms, uses them, and kidnaps people for lean. If they aren’t a terrorist group, then there needs to be a new definition of what a terrorist group is to make them different.

Mossad can “reach out and touch them” even if they hide in Damascus.

However, I bet that calling Trump supporters terrorist is OK by the CBC.

Are other players in the neighborhood who have previously attacked Israel, gearing up to do so again when Israel becomes vulnerable fighting in Gaza?

They may give lip service to supporting Hamas but I doubt they will help.

Israel is going full mobilization, currently 300,000 reservist are being called in. It is one thing to sneak around and attack small groups of soldiers, it is another to go after a fully awake enemy looking for blood.

WWII D Day landing only had around 132,000 troops.

That’s a point of it no a question

Terrorism is meant wear out an opponent you can’t fight head on

And it works more often than not

Folks look for a solution once the punitive reaction is done

IRA
ISIS
basque
History is littered with this

Toss in a commanche mindset to brutality and it’s a mess

I don’t think Israel can kill them baring terrible optics

They make the PLO appear quaint

2. not refer to Palestinian terrorists as terrorists.

Agreed! Call them "Muslims". It makes for a more target rich enemy. Islam must be destroyed.

Killing Americans. Taking hostages and parading their naked bodies through town. Killing civilians is not a terrorist tactic.
Going to church, being aware of what is going on in your child’s school IS being a terrorist.
Go figure..

I wonder what percentage of the 300,00 will be helpful and what are diversity hires, soyboys and girls and assorted REMFS?

I had always thought so. This level of surprise attack succeeding gives me pause. Perhaps we assign too much faith and awe in organizations that no longer deserve it?

If this really happened, this guy George Achi is a very stupid and evil person.
