No wonder. I have repeatedly said that I was never, and never will be, an admirer of Hamas ideology or practice, not to mention its grotesque propaganda. Here is a sample: "A Hamas leader yesterday took exception to suggestions in a section of the foreign media that the Makkah summit was “nothing but a PR exercise” for Saudi Arabia. “Saudi Arabia is a sovereign nation. As a leader of the Muslim world it has played its historic role in stabilizing the region. It has conveyed in unambiguous terms to Washington and other Western nations that unless and until the festering issue of Palestine is solved nothing is going to lead to an enduring peace in the region,” he said. “This accord reinforces Saudi Arabia’s historic role in the region and in the affairs of the Ummah.”
