Kummaline. Cameron oleks nagu BBC seletuse "Mis on Hamas?" lugemata jätnud.
Seletus on põhjalik ja lõpetab nii:
Hamas, or in some cases its armed wing alone, is considered a terrorist group by Israel, the US, the EU, and the UK, among others.
Küsimusele, et "miks me ei nimeta" on BBC juba oktoobris
vastanud ning oleksin üllatunud, kui Cameron vastust ei teaks:
It's simply not the BBC's job to tell people who to support and who to condemn - who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.
We regularly point out that the British and other governments have condemned Hamas as a terrorist organisation, but that's their business. We also run interviews with guests and quote contributors who describe Hamas as terrorists.
The key point is that we don't say it in our voice. Our business is to present our audiences with the facts, and let them make up their own minds.
...ehk vastus on, et BBC jutustab lahti, mida Hamas kõike teinud on ja teeb, muuhulgas kuidas sõdib (ning et selles sisaldub tsiviilisikute tapmine ja pantvangi võtmine), mainib mis Hamasi eesmärgid on (islamiriik Iisraeli asemel), mainib mida Hamas on teinud oma palestiinlastest konkurentidega (koledaid asju), loetleb kes Hamasi terroristideks on nimetanud (paljud) ning teeb intervjuusid isikutega, kes Hamasi terroristlikuks nimetavad. Edasi jätab BBC vaataja otsustada, et mida Hamasist arvata.
...ja lõpuks tuletab ajakirjanik meelde ajalugu, ehk kuidas BBC teise ilmasõja ajal natsidest rääkis - nad nimetasid natse vaenlasteks ja raporteerisid natside tegude kohta, aga hoidusid isiklikuks minemast.
And it's always been like this in the BBC. During World War Two, BBC broadcasters were expressly told not to call the Nazis evil or wicked, even though we could and did call them "the enemy".
Aiman, et Cameron võib vist tahtma jäädagi, et BBC teisiti teeks.
