    I tried to google both The United Association for Studies and Research and its supposed founder, Mousa Abu Marzook. Now I don’t know whether search engines are just literally incapable of finding things these days or what, but literally every result was some scare-mongering site about, like, “extremism” or “the islamic brotherhood” or “hamas networks operating in the US” or some such bullshit. You’d think if the UASR exists that they’d have a website or something I could find, but they sure don’t seem to.

    It pisses me off when people make comments on the internet with this much certainty, but I can’t seem to verify even the very existence of the thing they’re talking about. Mousa Abu Marzook appears to be a real person, a high-level hamas official, even, but beyond that, I just don’t know how to find any info on this supposed “far-left academic think tank”. It legitimately doesn’t seem to exist, except to be referenced by “reports” on “extremism”.

    Ugghh, the internet has been pissing me off recently, I think I need to logout
