Hamas militants hold a poster of Morsi, as they celebrate in Gaza City soon after he won Egypt’s 2012 presidential elections.
A new Arabic report states that at least four Palestinian members of Hamas were involved in and arrested for the recent shooting and killing of eight Egyptians during anti-Morsi protests. The clashes took place around Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Muqattam.
A video appearing yesterday shows people inside the building — now not just Brotherhood members but apparently Hamas as well — opening gunfire on protesters.
None of this should be surprising: Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood — not to mention a recent court ruling confirmed that President Morsi’s 2011 jailbreak was facilitated by Hamas members.
In short, Hamas has a long history of coming to Morsi’s rescue — yet another indicator of the Egyptian president’s terrorist connections.

Ibrahim’s dual-background -- born and raised in the U.S. by Coptic Egyptian parents born and raised in the Middle East -- has provided him with unique advantages, from equal fluency in English and Arabic, to an equal understanding of the Western and Middle Eastern mindsets, positioning him to explain the latter to the former.
