Where Terrorists are “Activists”

It’s time for another trip into the reverse universe of The Washington Post, so cue the heroic music:

In the alleys, people carried the weak and the old on their shoulders or cradled them like children. Hezbollah activists helped evacuate 80-year-old Mariam Saghir, her foot crippled, on a ladder turned into a stretcher. One of the activists carried a walkie-talkie, another a pistol. Someone then brought an orange stretcher, propping her head on two bags stuffed with her clothes.

"How much farther?" she pleaded. She rolled to the side, flies gathering on her face. "I want to stay here."

"We're almost there," one of the men reassured her.

At least it’s internally consistent: 1.) Good is evil; 2.) Up is down; and 3.) Terrorists who invite shelling on their human shields by firing rockets from residential areas are “activists” because they help people around the body parts and teddy bears.
