Hamas’s Misinformation Spree

By Published On: July 18, 2007

Barry Rubin, the Director of the Global Research in International Affairs Center (GLORIA), criticizes the New York Times‘ and Washington Post‘s decision to publish Op-Eds by Hamas leader Ahmad Yousef, arguing that

Since these articles are completely disinformation, they do not reflect Hamas’s doctrines, policy, or strategy. As a result, they are worthless for anything other than mobilizing support for the group and disguising its nature. This is not the purpose of op-ed articles.

For more on the Hamas misinformation spree, see the rest of Rubin’s article here, and CAMERA’s comments on Hamas’s Op-Ed in the LA Times here.
