ABC News on Hamas: “A Political and Social Welfare Organization”

ABC News reporter Mike Lee on Thursday night described Hamas, which claimed responsibility for the bus bombing in Jerusalem which killed 20 earlier this week, including six children, as “a political and social welfare organization with a military wing that has launched terror attacks against Israel.”

Isn’t that like describing al-Qaeda as “an international political and social welfare organization with a military wing that once launched a terror attack against the U.S.”?

Reporting on Israel’s retaliatory attack using missiles fired from a helicopter to kill a Hamas leader, on the August 21 World News Tonight Lee asserted from Israel:
“Abu Shanab was a senior member of Hamas, a political and social welfare organization with a military wing that has launched terror attacks against Israel. Shanab was not a declared military operative and had a reputation as a political moderate, but Israel said today that all Hamas leaders are responsible for terrorism.”

Just a “moderate” terrorist.
