Israel hating faux feminist Linda Sarsour has definitely seemed like an apologist for Hamas at times. For instance, she has tweeted the following:
What defenders of massacre don't tell u re: Hamas is they dropped call 4 destruction of Israel from manifesto http://t.co/AxFEWzFM6C #2006

I suggest @repmichaelgrimm update his stock email re: Israel he's sending out. Israel admitted teens were not killed by Hamas. Stay informed

And posed for a picture with Salah Sarsour, a member of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and former Hamas operative who was jailed in Israel because of alleged work for Hamas.
But in the interests of accuracy, she has also criticized them strongly.
My condemnations don't end with Israel. I have condemned butchers like Bashar Al Assad, ISIS, Al Qaeda and Hamas.

@AccountsRS I have no influence on Hamas. They are a terrorist organization. I only can have influence on my government as a US citizen

And it is exactly those two tweets that had Nadia Chan – the woman Britain’s Channel 4 featured in their video on Muslim women “fighting back by rejecting stereotypes” – fuming.
To the point where she called Sarsour the “Z” word.
Boy, did Channel 4 get it wrong with this one! (hat tip: uberfeminist)
