I guess not strictly news - but with all of the vitriol I have seen in discussions on the Israel situation, that have boiled down to arguments over wording, I feel that this take from the BBC is worthy of some discussion.

Mods, feel free to remove if this is not newsy enough.

      So how far did you get in this article? Did you see the title and go into rage posting or did you actually read it?

        This dude writes 50 comments a day on multiple accounts. They are completely filled with hatred and spitefulness and their personal conviction is more important than deliberation or compassion.

      Kinda weird that New Zealand takes the time to differentiate calling the political arm of Hamas not terrorists and the militant arm of Hamas (Qassam Brigades) terrorists. Maybe someone should look into why.
