Na contramão da História, quando mesmo a União Europeia, no final do ano passado, mudou sua abordagem sobre o Hamas (aqui), o Egito lista o movimento como organização "terrorista", como se vê no texto abaixo (retirado aqui). Essa posição, que faz os ianques e sionistas sorrirem de orelha a orelha, mostra o fracasso da dita "primavera árabe" em trazer conjunturas realmente democráticas e antiimperialistas para a região.
O Hamas, diferentemente do que dizem os detratores, não é uma organização "terrorista". Ao contrário, é um movimento de massas que nasce como resistência legítima -daí Movimento de Resistência Islâmico- contra a ocupação israelense. Trata-se, nas palavras de Abdel-Alim Da’na, dirigente da Frente Popular para a Libertação da Palestina, de "uma organização nacionalista de combate à ocupação" (aqui), e portanto merecedora da solidariedade das forças progressistas do planeta.

Egypt Lists Hamas as Terrrorist Organization
An Egyptian court has declared Palestinian movement Hamas a "terrorist" organization, according to a judicial source. The decision comes one month after Cairo added the group's military wing to its terror blacklist.
"The court ruled that Hamas should be included as a terrorist organisation," said Samir Sabry, one of the lawyers who brought the case the group.
In January, the same court declared the Islamist group's military wing, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, a terrorist organization.
In March last year, Egypt banned Hamas from carrying out any activities on its soil and froze the group's assets.
Authorities in Cairo have accused the group of aiding militants based in the Sinai region wage deadly attacks against Egyptian police and soldiers. Hamas officials have repeatedly denied these charges.
Hamas was founded in the late 1980s. Relations between Cairo and Hamas deteriorated after Egypt's military toppled senior Brotherhood leader and former President Mohammed Morsi in 2013.
Hamas had also been on the European Union's terrorism blacklist since 2001, but was taken off in December 2014 after an EU court ruled the designation was based on media reports rather than solid legal evidence.
Last month the EU said it would appeal the court's decision. Hamas has long contested the terrorist classification.
