Hamas is very much like Fatah in its heydays: it is an organization up for sale and has a weakness for Gulf oil money. On Syria: Isma`il Haniyyah offers support for Syrian protesters in Cairo, while Musa Abu Marzuq yesterday stated that Hamas does not oppose the Syrian regime and paid tribute to the Syrian regime stances. Yet, you don't see criticisms of Hamas--as you see criticisms of Hizbullah--in Hariri, Saudi, and Ikhwan media because their agenda in press coverage is purely sectarian.
