You will see more articles in coming weeks about how Hamas has turned moderate with their upcoming new manifesto that is not quite as explicitly antisemitic as their (still extant) Charter. It all goes to show that anti-Israel Western "academics" are dumber than the average Arab in the street, who knows very well that Hamas is a terror group.
And it is partly because they see pictures like this in their media, while Westerners don't.
People who choose to cover their faces when speaking in public are pretty much guaranteed to not be the most upstanding citizens.
