People who behead babies are monsters. Monster, terrorist, or war criminal this is really just a semantic argument, and most people don't care deeply about the difference. I understand that the BBC wants to use words precisely, because journalists really care about words. The reason why people find this article deeply offensive is because by writing an article about how Hamas militants are not "terrorists" and comparing them with the IRA, you are in essence defending absolute monster engaging in pure evil and the argument that they might be righteous in their activities is hyper offensive to many people. I feel BBC should simply not call them terrorists, but not engage in a debate about the definition of what they are and make compare them to other organizations as though they are equal to those organizations. Did the IRA behead a bunch of children?
