The New York Times published a story Tuesday referring to Hamas as “Hamas terrorists” before revising it to “Hamas gunmen.” The Times revised the story a second time on Wednesday to “Hamas terrorists” after backlash.

Hamas, an Islamist political and military organization currently governing the Gaza Strip, is designated as a terrorist origination by the United States, along with most Western nations.

Nevertheless, the Times removed its Hamas terror label and replaced it with “gunman.”

The Times story first read, “As Israeli soldiers regain control of areas near Gaza that came under attack, they are finding evidence seen in videos and photos and confirmed by witness accounts of the massacre of civilians by Hamas terrorists.”

The Times later edited the story to, “As Israeli soldiers regain control of areas near Gaza that came under attack, they are finding evidence seen in videos and photos and confirmed by witness accounts of the massacre of civilians by Hamas gunmen.”

On Wednesday, the newspaper reversed course, and replaced “Hamas gunmen” with “Hamas terrorists,” after a post on Twitter went viral depicting the previous edit.

You can't make this stuff up. These people are sick.

Better if they would say Islamic Hamas Terrorists. Let’s not miss that they are following the evil Islamic tradition of barbaric behavior.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think the term “terrorists” actually diminishes the severity of what happened here. This was an organized and coordinated invasion, not the act of a lone wolf or small cell of radical mutants.

At least they dropped calling Hamas “freedom fighters”.

They are besides themselves. They are like the robots Mudd created in Star Trek. Starting to glitch out.

Last Monday, I listened to a podcast that talked about the origins of Columbus Day. It said that holiday was created so that Italian immigrants could celebrate a part of their heritage. And they needed it, because they were treated badly in the 1880s and 1890s, on a par with blacks in the Jim Crow-era South.

Among other things, the podcast said that the New York Times applauded when Italians were lynched in riots in those days.

We should hold that over the heads of the liberal media, just as we rightly point out how the Times sent a reporter to the USSR in 1932, and denied that Joseph Stalin had caused a famine in Ukraine.

Can you imagine The internal debate?

Tucker Carlson is refusing to call them “terrorists” too.

NYT is worthless on all levels

I DON’T CARE IF THEY ARE CALLED PINK LADIES.

THEY ARE BARBARIANS

These people write for ‘prizes’ not for citizens or subscribers... so their choices seem bizarre to normal rational people.

Worse yet, Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer for that abomination...
