While its true that Hamas is the acronym of the Arabic phrase "حرکة المقاومة الاسلامیة (حماس)" (harakat al-muqawamat al-islamiyah), I think it can't be ruled out that they intentionally named their group so that it looks like Hamaas.

When did it start publishing?
According to
this auction site the first issue was printed in Heshvan 5706 (October 1944). However, the newspaper "Hama'as" was banned in Palestine in June 1944 (Palestine Gazette, No. 1344, Supplement 2, 29 June 1944, p600). This suggests it was already in existence by then, unless it a different publication of the same name.
