Hamas isn`t a Western-style pragmatic organization. Peace and quiet is its enemy not only because of its ideology?the deity commands it to destroy Israel?or its self-image?as heroic martyrs?but also because battle is needed to recruit the masses for permanent war and unite the population around it. Hamas has no program of improving the well-being of the people or educating children to be doctors, teachers, and engineers. Its platform has but one plank: war, war, endless war, sacrifice, heroism, and martyrdom until total victory is achieved.
