Just a book on a display table at Barnes & Noble, published by Stanford, with this on the back cover:
“Neither a democratic political party nor a terrorist group, Hamas is a multifaceted liberation organization, one rooted in the nationalist claims of the Palestinian people.”
“Neither a democratic political party nor a terrorist group, Hamas is a multifaceted liberation organization, one rooted in the nationalist claims of the Palestinian people.”
“Demonized in media and policy debates, various accusations and critical assumptions have been used to justify extreme military action against Hamas. The reality of Hamas is, of course, far more complex.”
The book is “Hamas Contained” (a grimly ironic title post-10/7) by Tareq Baconi.
If he had said it’s “not just a political party or a terrorist group,” I’d have been with him. It’s also other things.
But notice how he slips in the “it’s not a terrorist group” line through the side door.
