British Media Understatement

Note the BBC's understatement language in this headline

Hamas 'harming Gaza opponents'


while the story continues thus:


Hamas is accused of using violence to stifle opposition in Gaza

A rights group has accused Palestinian organisation Hamas of killing or maiming alleged collaborators and political opponents in Gaza.

At least 20 people had been killed since the end of last year, Amnesty International stated in a report based on testimony from inside Gaza.

Scores of others had been beaten and injured, the rights group said.

Amnesty says Hamas has been meting out summary justice to those believed to have helped Israeli forces.



So, British.

This explains why Arabs let BBC broadcast on their satellites.

You're right. There is another face and I think I did mention Mubarek Awad here. But Two NV leaders and 500 supporters vs. all the Pal. terror is negligible.
