"No, Hamas isn’t ISIS, ISIS isn’t Hamas"

“Hamas is ISIS, ISIS is Hamas,” is the cry from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Larry Defner has written scathingly of these claims in +972 magazine today:
"Anybody who isn’t a shill for Israel can see through Netanyahu’s new slogan,“Hamas is ISIS, ISIS is Hamas.” It’s such a crude attempt to brainwash people, to put the most horrifying image in their minds and associate it with Gaza, thereby cleansing Israel of those images of Gaza’s agony. Like he’s been doing his whole career, Netanyahu is insulting people’s intelligence, treating them like children, selling them the war with a short little singsong slogan they can all remember."
