HAMAS is Wrong
by slaveofone

The name of the terrorist organization which heads the Palestinian Authority is known as Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya or HAMAS. In Arabic, the acronym means zeal. But it is an interesting bit of irony that the acronym is identical to the Hebrew word חָמָס which means a wrong.

    I’ve always thought that was intentional, since that same word can be translated “violence.”

    Hamas is wrong as well as violent.
