I've Been Thinking:

Language counts!

Israel is being attacked not only militarily, but also linguistically!
In the “spirit” of even handedness, leading figures and organizations justify terror and whitewash terrorists.
Like the statement: It “did not happen in a vacuum”.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the UN Security Council that the Hamas massacre of Israelis on October 7 "did not happen in a vacuum," because Palestinians have been subjected to 56 years of "suffocating occupation." He said that he is "deeply concerned about clear violations of international humanitarian law that we are witnessing in Gaza."

Like those calling: Hamas “militants and combatants” not terrorists.
AP, the world's largest news agency, updated their style guide instructing reporters and organizations that rely on its style guide not to call Hamas a terrorist organization. It suggests "militants," "Hamas fighters," “attackers” or "combatants."
