Hamas a "Fundamentalist Political Party?"

London’s Evening Standard reports on the visit to Israel of a British right-wing activist. Included in the story is this description of Hamas:

A fundamentalist political party that Israel accuses of “fostering extremism?”

Seriously?!

How about suicide bombings, shootings, stabbings and thousands of rocket attacks on Israeli civilians? Doesn’t that make Hamas a terrorist organization?

Is there that much doubt about the nature of Hamas that the Evening Standard resorts to conjecture?

A complaint has been sent to the Evening Standard. Watch this space.
