Reuters: Genocide = ‘Armed Struggle’
Reuters Jerusalem Bureau Chief Crispian Balmer needs both a math lesson and a lesson in ethics:
In violation of the Reuters Handbook of Journalism and professional journalistic ethics, Balmer deliberately adopts the Arab-ethnocentric, loaded, and grossly misleading phrase “armed struggle” to characterize Hamas’ stated intent to commit genocide against the Jewish people. This, in an obvious bid to conceal the objectives of the Palestinian leadership so as to make them more palatable to gullible western audiences… cont’dHe [Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal] has promoted armed struggle against Israel and rejected peace negotiations, but said in an interview with Newsweek last year that if a two-state solution were ever brought about, his group would “respect the will of the Palestinian people.”
