A Jewish BBC reporter has resigned from the broadcaster after the organisation refused to call Hamas a terrorist organisation and instead opted to call them militants.
Former BBC reporter Noah Abrahams said the BBC's refusal to use the correct terminology is “unjustified”.
“Words are quite literally fundamental to the English language; they impact how we think, how we react, how we act, they have influence, the phrase freedom fighter distracts from the reality of terrorism,” Mr Abrahams said.
“These people aren’t freedom fighters … they are terrorists.
“Terminology, words, when neglected, have the power to fuel hate; they have the power to put fuel on the fire.”
