Following his embarrassing tweets on Hummus, anti-Israel blogger Richard Silverstein has shifted his attention to Hamas, where he expresses his disappointment over the Newseum decision to remove the names of the two Hamas operatives from its website.

Just so we are clear: the two men (I use the term loosely) were members of Hamas – a terror organization – who worked for their propaganda television operation, Al-Aqsa TV.
They were as much journalists as..Richard Silverstein is a journalist.
Of course, Silverstein’s support of Hamas operatives should serve as no surprise, since it is not the first time he has defended Hamas terrorists or otherwise tried to minimize/explain away their crimes.
