'There are no relations between Israel and the Islamist Hamas government in Gaza.'

'There are no relations between Israel and the Islamist Hamas government in Gaza.' That's the BBC position on the Israel/Gaza state of affairs. Wouldn't a brief explanation as to why there are no relations between Israel and Hamas be in order? Hamas don't recognise Israel and in their Charter and frequently since they state their aim as the destruction of Israel and often also the killing of all Jews. I would have thought this worth a mention but the anti-Israel BBC would seem to disagree.

The rubric that the BBC uses gives the impression that the fault could lie on either or both sides and allied with the BBC's incessant anti-Israel coverage would lead most people to blame Israel. The truth is somewhat different but since when has the truth in relation to Israel concerned the BBC?
