Douglas Murray rips into BBC chair for failing to call Hamas a terrorist group

Author Douglas Murray slams BBC chairman Samir Shah for “trying to squirm” out of answering a question about whether Hamas is a terrorist group. Mr Shah was unable to answer whether he considers Hamas a terrorist organisation during a Times Radio interview. “Isn’t it bizarre, Rita? It’s not hard to call Hamas terrorists,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “It tells us about what he is swimming in at the BBC, that that is a difficult question to answer.”
