Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, has called on world leaders and organizations to designate Hamas as terrorists. This comes after the BBC faced backlash for refusing to label the group as such.

Sir Keir Starmer's Plea

During the final day of the Labour Conference in Liverpool, Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the importance of recognizing the brutal actions of Hamas, particularly their attacks on Israeli civilians.

BBC Under Fire

Sir Keir Starmer urged the BBC to explain why they refuse to label Hamas as terrorists. He stated that it is clear to him that their actions constitute terrorism and called on other Middle East states to do the same.

MPs Express Fury

Members of Parliament from various political parties have expressed anger at the BBC's refusal to use the term "terrorists" when referring to Hamas. The broadcaster refers to them as "militants" instead.

Defence Secretary's Criticism

Defence Secretary Grant Shapps condemned the BBC's language on the conflict, calling it "disgraceful." He emphasized that Hamas, as a proscribed terrorist organization, has engaged in the slaughter of innocent people and should be referred to as terrorists.

TalkTV Presenter's Outrage

Piers Morgan, a presenter on TalkTV, joined in the criticism of the BBC. He stated that those who commit acts such as murdering babies and massacring festival-goers should be called terrorists, rather than being appeased with softer language.

Call for Urgent Review

The Board of Deputies of British Jews wrote a letter to BBC Chief Tim Davie, urging the organization to review its reporting guidelines. They argued that not labeling Hamas as terrorists undermines the true nature of their attacks.

The Horrific Massacre

Israel has accused Hamas of carrying out a sickening rampage in which at least 40 babies and children were killed, some of whom were found beheaded. Israeli soldiers discovered scenes of unimaginable horror in the village of Kfar Aza, near the Gaza border.

Support for Israel

Sir Keir Starmer suggested that Wembley should light its arch with the colors of Israel's flag during England's friendly match against Australia. He believes it would send a powerful message of support from the UK to Israel.
