It was an honor and pleasure to work on this article with the incredible @intifada team. This article includes novel findings that I am very excited to be able to share with the Electronic Intifada readership. This includes the fact that the earliest known instance of a version of the myth that "Israel created Hamas"--albeit, since Hamas had not yet formed, the claim was that "Israel created the Islamic Movement--was propagated by Mohammad Dahlan during a courtyard debate at the Islamic University of Gaza with Yahya al-Sinwar in 1983. This is hitherto the article that I worked most arduously on, poring over extant witness accounts to provide the a comprehensive historical analysis. Thank you dearly @TamaraINassar and @maureenclarem

@solzhenidiot I found Day's summary of the Xinjiang Atrocity Propaganda better taking into account of the historical materialism of the hybrid war against China than Prashad's but if ever you get the time and patience it would be great to see your breakdown of the latter for us learners.
