Communists disdain to conceal their views, aims... was before the age of public relations... Hamas leaders now write op-eds in the leading American newspapers either concealing completely or greatly distorting their group’s aims.. newspapers complicit in this process accepting articles.. nothing to do with the real Hamas or at least are full of demonstrable lies... Hamas pieces go far beyond other op-eds being published....

Recently, three main city-based newspapers in America — Washington Post, New York Times, Los Angeles Times - ran op-eds by Hamas leaders. First, identical article by Ahmed Yousef.. ..an extremely unusual development.. according to Washington Post editors.. Hamas’s public relations’ agent had fooled them by not informing either newspaper that the other was publishing. It was not the last time that Hamas would fool them.

..Idea of op-ed article is to let an individual or group express its opinion directly, without mediation of newspaper.., the Yousef pieces were not op-eds and should not have been published... Hamas is a radical Islamist group which seeks the extinction of the state of Israel through terrorist means. ..Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.. Hamas is very anti-Western and anti-American. The group uses antisemitic imagery, encourages children to become suicide bombers, seeks an Islamist state roughly along the lines of those in Iran or in Afghanistan under Taliban, says or does other things that do not fit with Western democracy.

...They seemed to have been written by a public relations’ agency one can doubt that anyone in the Hamas leadership even read them, much less agreed with them. Since these articles are completely disinformation.. do not reflect Hamas’s doctrines, policy, or strategy. As a result, they are worthless for anything other than mobilizing support for the group and disguising its nature. This is not the purpose of op-ed articles.

Interestingly enough I found bumped up in front, on news.google.com the following most extreme pro Islamofascists-Hamas style, and basically being nothing but mouthpieces FOR them, even in their fight against less extremist-Fatah's: Mahmoud Abbas, some go as far as attacking Abbas as 'selling out his people'...), here are expmples.

Some are "socialist" extreme far lefties who are yet to wake-up & realize the reality of Hamastan Sharia hell- Caliphate will do to their dreams...:

Very nice, but they fail to mention that the Hamas Charter speaks of Al Andalus (Spain) as well.
