For the BBC, Ismail Haniyeh Was "Moderate and Pragmatic," for the Rest of Us He Was a Monster
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Stephen Pollard - Ismail Haniyeh was leader of a genocidal terror organization committed to the extermination of every Jew on the planet. Yet BBC's Middle East correspondent, Yolande Knell, told us that since Haniyeh was overseeing peace talks, he must have been a really good guy because, you know, peace - and so "despite his tough rhetoric," "analysts" saw the now dead Hamas leader as actually "moderate and pragmatic." Haniyeh recorded a message to Palestinians, saying: "We need the blood of women, children, and the elderly of Gaza...so as to awaken our revolutionary spirit." As for "pragmatic," he was prepared to let others join Hamas in murdering Jews on Oct. 7 and let at least four other Islamist terror groups take part. Kudos to Haniyeh for not keeping the glory all to Hamas. The tone of much of the BBC's coverage has been as if the last hope for peace has been brutally extinguished by Israel, rather than a mastermind behind the butchery of 1,200 people on Oct. 7.
