Hamas's new media consultant is already hard at work on that "image problem":
Mr Aqtash, who describes himself as opposed to violence and "believing in the Gandhi route", has advised Hamas leaders to change their image by explaining that they do not hate Israelis because they are Jews..."Hamas does not believe in terrorism or killing civilians. But Ariel Sharon pressed buttons to make people angry. Sometimes we are innocent enough to react in a way that the Israelis use the reaction against us," he said.

It's all a silly misunderstanding, you see. Nick Griffin, leader of the far-Right British National Party, knows all about that kind of thing:
Nick Griffin, 46, is on trial accused of using threatening, abusive or insulting words intended to stir up racial hatred...He said he genuinely believed that Islam was a "wicked, vicious faith", but added that this was not a criticism of Muslim people.
