Hamas was originally created as a resistance front against Israeli occupation to the intentionally recognized Palestinian territories.
I am personally against Hamas policy of retaliation and I prefer to get political problems solved peacefully with international community support. However, it is very difficult to give a fair view on Hamas unless you get answers to:
- if you are in place of Hamas, how do you think you can get your rights in your lands and homes while the occupier denies these rights and the international community doesn't care?.
- How many Israelis were killed by Hamas rockets? to my information: None
- How many Palestinians were killed and injured by Israeli attacks on Gaza? to my information: Thousands.
- How many Palestinians were killed by the settlers before starting firing Hamas rockets; since the British occupation of Palestine before Israel State recognition in 1948 and through 1967 war and after Oslo 1991 peace agreement; and without single world condemnation?
- What do you expect from people got driven away from their homes and lands and other people, from all over the world, were brought as settlers to replace them?
- Why Gaza, of the highest population density in the world, is fully isolated by the Israelis?
- Is resistance against occupiers considered terrorism?

What is Hamas in charge of?
Hamas is a Palestinian Sunni Islamic or Islamist political party that governs the Gaza Strip and the largest and most influential Palestinian militant movement along with the more moderate Fatah party and has a military wing called the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Hamas is viewed by most Western analysts as an obstacle to the Arab-Israeli peace process and the goal of a two-state solution. As a result, Western nations, including the United States, have tried to embolden the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority while isolating Hamas, which has historically kept strong ties to Iran. - Hamas was founded by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, a Palestinian spiritual leader who became an activist in the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood after dedicating his early life to Islamic scholarship in Cairo. Beginning in the late 1960s, Yassin preached and performed charitable work in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, both of which were seized by Israeli forces following the 1967 Six-Day War. In 1973, he established al-Mujamma' al-Islami (the Islamic Center) to coordinate the Brotherhood's political activities in Gaza. - Hamas' primary base of popular support is in the Gaza Strip, where it has maintained de facto control since its 2006, when it surprised many observers by winning the majority of seats in the Palestinian parliament. Hamas ousted the remnants of Fatah from Gaza by force in early 2007, and the new Hamas-led government was summarily dismissed by PA president and Fatah chief Mahmoud Abbas. The result of the bloodshed was a de facto geographic division of Palestinian-held territory, with Hamas holding sway in Gaza and Fatah maintaining the internationally recognized Palestinian Authority government in the West Bank town of Ramallah. - Hamas' control over the area was established after the Hamas party won the Palestinian legislative elections in January 2006,[4] and ousted Fatah officials during the Battle of Gaza in 2007.[5] Fatah, Hamas' political and military rival, controls the West Bank.[6] Both regimes - the Palestinian National Authority and the Hamas administration - regard themselves as the sole legitimate Palestinian government.
