Hamas

For the adventurous and bored, here's the Hamas Charter. A succinct analysis: It doesn't exactly allow much in the way of compromise. Hopefully, (and I am being really, really, really hopeful here) Hamas will take a much more pragmatic and moderate approach to the policies vis-a-vis Israel. I have my doubts, even with the knowledge that the PLO has modified its beliefs since 1964, and that Hamas does have a foundation in providing social services to Palestinians.
