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."

At this point, I doubt that most of the top jobs in the Canadian Government are even staffed by Canadians.

The attacks were plainly designed to cause terror. They had no conventional military purpose.

Beyond despicable.

It was meant to derail the Saudi-Israeli peace deal.

Could the Israelis attack Hamas political leaders IN Syria, or fo they even have the means to spare to do that with current gighting?

A terrorist by any other name or title, is still a terrorist.

A ‘freedom fighter’ who terrorizes men, women and children in order to get his/her way, is still a terrorist.

No terrorist should be allowed to live among civilized societies. Terrorists are animals without consciences. The brutality of terrorists cannot be equated to fighting for freedom.

This makes sense. Marxists and jihadists are natural allies against all others. They’ll fight it out after everyone else is subjugated or killed.

Anyone who sides with or whitewashes the crimes of terrorists, is a terrorist.

"Hamas's attack has been most devastating near the settlement of Re'im where Israeli youths were attending the Nova festival, an open-air rave, at the time. Perhaps dozens of young people were shot dead and many dozens more are missing and perhaps kidnapped to Gaza by the Hamas fighters."

Are other players in the neighborhood who have previously attacked Israel, gearing up to do so again when Israel becomes vulnerable fighting in Gaza? Would the US respond or slow walk aid until it was too late?
