'#AskHamas' Twitter campaign quickly backfires
An attempt by Hamas to improve its image via Twitter appears to have backfired, with critics using the initiative to ridicule the Islamist organization, Business Standard reports.
The English-language #AskHamas initiative was designed to make the movement more responsive to social media users.

Even before the campaign went live, Twitter users were already posting mocking messages under the #AskHamas hashtag.
"If a tree falls in the woods, and there's no one to hear it fall, is it still Israel's fault," one user asked.
"Zionist propagandists will try to convince you that this is a rocket, not a tweet," Hamas tweeted, apparently anticipating blowback. "Do not fall for that."
The movement has not yet answered any users queries.
