Hamas attacks? Israel’s ensuing war? That’s a bit neutral - Hamas murdered over a thousand innocent Jews and then relied on useful idiots for cover. No no no.

exactly - that's CNN's headline. And some identify Hamas & Hezbollah as militants instead of TERRORISTS. Wording can make a lot of difference.

I guess it all depends on whose ox is being gored, right? There was a time England would have called us terrorists had it been in the lexicon of the time. If the Arab world could ever get its own stuff together, they could eat Bibi and his state for lunch but then, of course, the US would be dragged into a nice nuclear conflict. Unlike Putin, whose missiles keep blowing up in their silos, we’ve kept Israel well armed. Be careful what you wish for.

I know the difference so how many fairies can dance on the head of a pin? If someone is holding a gun to your head, are you going to flip a coin in order to decide if that person is a militant or a terrorist?
