Another anti-Israel "report" on the BBC

Here is a short article from the BBC. To save you the bother and pain of looking at the BBC website, here is what it says. "Israelis deny killing Hamas man

A Hamas fighter has been killed in what the Palestinian militant group says was an Israeli aircraft-launched missile strike on the Gaza Strip. Another Hamas militant was seriously injured in an explosion that occurred just east of Gaza City.
Hamas said the missile strike had targeted a group of its members in the area.

But an Israeli army spokesman denied that the military had carried out any such operation in Gaza.

Israeli troops have carried out a number of strikes and raids against Palestinian militants in Gaza in recent months. "

Let's examine this article, my comments are in italics

"Israelis deny killing Hamas man"
Not Hamas claim Israel killed one of their men, so the proof must be strong that the Israelis did do this.

"A Hamas fighter has been killed"
A fighter, not a militant and certainly not a terrorist

"in what the Palestinian militant group"
He was a "fighter" but Hamas is a "militant" group, the important thing is that neither has anything to do with terrorism

"says was an Israeli aircraft-launched missile strike on the Gaza Strip."
Hamas say there was an Israeli strike on the Gaza Strip, is there any verification for this claim?

"Another Hamas militant was seriously injured in an explosion that occurred just east of Gaza City."
This one was a "militant" not a "fighter"

"Hamas said the missile strike had targeted a group of its members in the area."
But this "militant" was a member of a "group of ... members"

"But an Israeli army spokesman denied that the military had carried out any such operation in Gaza."
BBC - We have to put this in but we don't believe it and neither should you

"Israeli troops have carried out a number of strikes and raids against Palestinian militants in Gaza in recent months."
They are "militants" again. Maybe some context would be useful here BBC, what have these militant members been doing? Playing football, organising creches, throwing political opponents off of office buildings, shooting other militants from a different group of members, firing rockets into Israel...


The BBC - there are no terrorists except for Israel, America (so long as George Bush or another Republican is President), Tony Blair (Gordon Brown
is a lovely man, vote Labour), Protestant gangs in Northern Ireland (the IRA were freedom fighters), etc. etc. etc.
