I have written before about my dislike for the Hamas movement, at every level (no, I am not a fan of Dahlan or Abbas either). But the delusions of the movement really anger me as they tend to spread confusion and illusions among the Palestinian people. Just yesterday, a Hamas leader spoke about Hamas successes "and penetrations" in Europe. What on earth was he talking about? This reminds me of a pamphlet put out by Saddam's propaganda apparatus years ago (I still have a copy of it) titled How To Address the Western Mind by Saddam Husayn. This is like publishing a book titled How to tell the Truth by Bill Clinton or How to Spread Peace by George W. Bush or How to Support Human Rights by Donald Rumsfeld or How to Appear Innocent by...Rustum Ghazalah.
