| | | | Hamas - Name: Encyclopedia II - Hamas - History Hamas was funded directly and indirectly during the 1970s and 1980s by various states including Saudi Arabia. The political/charitable arm of Hamas was officially registered and recognized within Israel at this time: indeed Israel supported and encouraged Hamas' early growth in an effort to undermine the secular Fatah movement of Yasser Arafat. Hamas abstained from politics throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, concentrating on social issues such as exposing corruption, administration of waqf (trusts) and organizing community projects. Towards the mid-80s, however, the movement was taken over by a militant fa ...

| | | | Hamas - Name: Encyclopedia II - Hamas - Beliefs Hamas regards the territory of the present-day State of Israel — as well as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank — as an inalienable Islamic waqf or religious bequest, which can never be surrendered to non-Muslims. It asserts that struggle (jihad) to wrest control of the land from Israel is the religious duty of every Muslim (fard `ain). This position is more radical than that now held by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which in 1988 recognized Israel's sovereignty. Hamas does not recognize Israel as a sovereign st ...

| | | | Hamas - Name: Encyclopedia II - Hamas - Activities Hamas' first use of suicide bombing occured on April 16, 1993 when a suicide bomber driving an explosive-laden van detonated between two buses parked at a restaurant [34]. Hamas described it as a response to a mass-killing of 29 praying Palestinians by an American-born Jewish settler in a Hebron Mosque 40 days earlier. It was Hamas' 19th known attack since 1989 (the others being shootings, kidnappings and knife attacks)[35]. Since then Hamas has conducted many attacks on Israel, mainly through its military wing - the Ezzedeen-al-qassam Briga ...

Hamas has been ordered to pay the families of the Ungars $116 million. On July 5, 2004, the court issued a default judgment against the Palestinian Authority and the PLO regarding the Ungars' claim that the Palestinian Authority and the PLO provide safe haven to Hamas.

| | | | Hamas - Name: Encyclopedia II - Hamas - Beliefs The Hamas Covenant, written in 1988, states that the organization's goal is to "raise the banner of God over every inch of Palestine," i.e. to eliminate the State of Israel (and any secular Palestinian state which may be established), and to replace it with an Islamic Republic.
The thirty-six articles of the Covenant detail the movement's Islamist beliefs regarding the primacy of Islam in all aspects of life. The Covenant identifies Hamas as the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine and considers its members to be Muslims who "fear God and ...

| | | | Hamas - Name: Encyclopedia II - Hamas - Activities Hamas used the 1994 Mosque of Abraham massacre in Hebron of 29 Muslim worshippers by Baruch Goldstein to justify its first suicide bombing. Since then, Hamas militants, especially those in the Ezzedeen-al-qassam Brigades, have conducted many attacks, including large-scale suicide bombings against Israeli civilian targets. These include the Passover massacre in March 2002, in which 30 people were killed in a terrorist attack while celebrating the Jewish festival of Passover; the Patt junction massacre (19 dead); the Jerusalem bus 20 massacre ...

| | | | Hamas - Name: Encyclopedia II - Hamas - Overview Founded in 1987, Hamas won a majority over the ruling Fatah party during the January 2006 Palestinian legislative election. As an Islamic party, it is ideologically opposed to the existence of Israel and has denounced the 1993 Oslo Accords, the foundation of the failed peace process, as a betrayal of God's will. However, in 2004, Hamas offered a 10 years truce, or hudna, in exchange for a complete withdrawal from the occupied territories, thus accepting de facto Israel existence as determined by its 1967 borders. During the sec ...
