In 1987, after the outbreak of the First Intifada against Israel, Hamas was founded by Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin. It emerged out of his Mujama al-Islamiya (Islamic Centre), which had been established in Gaza in 1973 as an Islamic charity involved with the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood.[22] Hamas became increasingly involved in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by the late 1990s;[63] it opposed the Israel–PLO Letters of Mutual Recognition as well as the Oslo Accords, which saw Fatah renounce "the use of terrorism and other acts of violence" and recognize Israel in pursuit of a two-state solution. Hamas continued to advocate Palestinian armed resistance, won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election,[64] gaining a majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council,[65] and took control of the Gaza Strip from Fatah following a civil war in 2007.[66][67] Since then, it has run Gaza as a de facto autocratic and one-party state.[68][69][70]

While historically seeking an Islamic Palestinian state over the combined territory of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip,[71][72] Hamas began accepting the 1967 borders in the agreements it signed with Fatah in 2005, 2006 and 2007.[73] In 2017, Hamas released a new charter that supported a transitional Palestinian state within the 1967 borders without recognizing Israel.[74][75][76][77][78] Hamas's repeated offers of a truce (for a period of 10–100 years[79]) based on the 1967 borders are seen by many as being consistent with a two-state solution,[80][81][82][83] while others state that Hamas retains the long-term objective of establishing one state in former Mandatory Palestine.[84][85] Under the ideological principles of Islamism, Hamas promotes Palestinian nationalism in an Islamic context; it has pursued a policy of jihad (armed struggle) against Israel.[c] It has a social service wing, Dawah, and a military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.[d][e] Since the mid-1990s,[22] Hamas has gained widespread popularity within Palestinian society for its anti-Israeli stance.[89][90] The group's attacks, including suicide bombings against civilian targets and indiscriminate rocket attacks, have been described by academics as acts of terrorism[61] and has led many countries to designate Hamas a terrorist organization.[91][92][52] A 2018 attempt to condemn Hamas for "acts of terror" at the United Nations failed.[f]



Blame Netanyahu for driving the PLO out of Gaza and putting Hamas in charge.


There's plenty of blame to go around. Too bad Bibi loathed Yassir Arafat.
