Notice that Agence France Presse will not even use the word “terrorist” to describe a convicted mass murderer who plotted to blow up a bus full of women and children: Palestinian militant jailed for life over bus bombing.
And notice also that they describe the Fatah (Arabic for “Conquest”) party as “moderate,” even though it’s responsible for these acts of mass murder.
JERUSALEM (AFP) - A Palestinian militant was handed 12 life sentences by an Israeli military court after being found guilty of involvement in a suicide bombing that killed 11 people.
Hilmi Hamash, 24, from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades group affiliated to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas’s moderate Fatah party, was found guilty of helping the bomber who blew himself up on a Jerusalem bus on January 29, 2004.
Here is a video of the aftermath of this attack by “moderate militants.” (Warning: very graphic.)
