Hamas Lunatics Hire ... Image Consultant


"Hamas has an image problem. The Israelis were able to create a very bad image of the Palestinians in general and particularly Muslims and Hamas. My contract is to project the right image," said Mr Aqtash, who also teaches media at Birzeit University in Ramallah....

"Abdel Aziz Rantisi [the former Hamas leader killed by Israel two years ago] was on television saying things that foreigners cannot accept, like we will remove Israel from the map. He should have talked about Palestinian suffering. He should have said we need this occupation ended. Foreigners will accept this," he said....

"How did I do?" he asked as the interview ended. "Did I make you think differently about Hamas?"

That's the problem with Hamas, bad PR.

"Kill the Jews!!!" = Bad PR.

"We are oppressed but we still want to Kill Jews!!!" = better PR.

"Jimmy Carter doesn't think we're terrorists!!" = PR GOLD baby.

Hey! Cool. I was half right, at least. I just thought they would go with Carville instead. They must have been disappointed he wouldn't recommend "It's the Jews, stupid."
