Here’s a jawdroppingly outrageous story flying totally beneath US media radar.

William Farish, US ambassador in London, recently hosted the first-ever Ramadan reception at the official residence in Regents Park, describing it as an attempt to “build bridges following the September 11 terror attacks”—and one of the guests was Azzam Tamimi, a Palestinian radical and unconcealed terror supporter with close ties to Hamas.

Describing himself as a “sympathiser and supporter” of Hamas, Dr Tamimi, who now runs the Institute of Islamic Political Thought in London, said: “I know some of the senior figures in Hamas. Some were my friends, my classmates.

“There is a personal relationship with some of them. Because of that I am sometimes asked to advise them. I have been asked, ‘what do you think of how we present ourselves to the world?’ I can be of use both to Hamas and people in the west who know nothing of what Hamas is about.”

Asked about Hamas’ campaign of suicide bombing, he said: “It is a very straightforward question. Do you think people like killing themselves?

“The thing is not to ask what you think of suicide bombing. The question is, ‘how do you stop suicide bombing?’”

Hamas is an openly genocidal, disgustingly bloodthirsty, racist Islamic death cult that brainwashes Palestinian children to be mindless Jew-killing jihadi suicide missiles. Is there something else we need to know about them? Oh yeah, they also run some hospitals.

Shame on ambassador Farish for giving terrorist-promoting scum like Tamimi the US stamp of approval.
