Original Note:
Hamas started as a civil group which would later turn out into a popular Islamist resistance movement supported by many Palestinians.

Nick's claim is unsubstantiated. https://twitter.com/propandco/status/1790575787088736721 https://www.milestonesjournal.net/articles/2018/2/21/distorting-hamass-origins-a-response-to-mehdi-hasan-1
