Foreign secretary’s call comes after group releases video of British-Israeli hostage it says died after being wounded in Israeli airstrike
David Cameron has urged the BBC to describe Hamas as a terrorist organisation, reviving an accusation that the corporation shies away from a valid description of the Islamist group that is holding Israeli hostages.
The UK foreign secretary told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg that the organisation should reconsider its guidelines in light of a video released by Hamas showing the British-Israeli hostage Nadav Popplewell, who the group said had died in Gaza.
Hamas released a statement on Saturday saying the 51-year-old had died after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike a month ago. The video showed him with a black eye.
I honestly could not care less whether or not it’s true. He’s told so many lies that if a lie is told about him that makes it sound like he stuck his dick in a pig, good. He deserves it.
Personally, I don’t think that two wrongs cancel out, and I’m not particularly keen on hypocrisy. Just wanted to point out for people who might not know that story has no evidence.
