Hamas is a terrorist group though

Gotta wander these days if these are Republican appointed “scientists” (assuming US source)

It’s not like they are going to read it. They just learned from the last round of mass-firings that they will get sued if they lie about firing people for performance reasons. Now they will have plausible deniability when lying about firing people for performance reasons.
