Huh, I do not condone Hammas practices at all ! Gazans would be certainly much better off with Fatah.
however they do all that in their own turf, to their own people and according to their own perception of what resistance to foreign occupation should be.
In this respect they are quiet different from Al-qaeda which is international terrorist organisation / movement with almost
mystic roots and whereabouts.
