I have been criticizing Hamas since the last election. I don't hide my true opinion of the movement. I have never admired its ideology or practices. But I have become convinced that the movement is now being subjected to a deliberate, deceptive propaganda campaign that is intended to throw off its leaders, and to make them look bad in the eyes of the Palestinians. I say this because I have noticed that something suspicious is going on: every few days, Western media report about some statement by a Hamas official, that Hamas officials seem to not have made. "Psychological Operations" are being run as we speak, I am convinced. Remember the stories and lies that have been planted by US in world newspapers? Israel and US are doing the same regarding Hamas.
