In a New York Times article about how ISIS has "declared war" against Hamas, it uses these words to describe Hamas to its readers:
Hamas is essentially a Palestinian national movement whose main effort is directed against Israel.Nothing about terrorism. Nothing about suicide bombs and rockets and tunnels aimed at killing civilians. Nothing about Hamas' long history of outrages that the group is proud of. Nothing about how Hamas' goal to destroy Israel.
No - Hamas is a "national movement."
You know....freedom fighters.
