Hypothetical news reporter Ifit Wereso reports on the recent announcement by the global peace movement PRMAZ on how it will refer to Israel in future commentary and dialogue.
Since the October 7 flare up in the decades long war between Israel and Hamas, the BBC has found itself compelled to mention that Hamas is designated by many western governments as terrorist.
Speaking yesterday in an interview with the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen, a spokesperson for the Peace and Reconciliation Movement Against Zionism (PRMAZ), consisting of Jews, Palestinians and their supporters, said the organisation will in future refer to Israel as “Israel, designated by human rights organisation as practising apartheid and persecution against Palestinians”.
