This monograph considers the changing fortunes of the Palestinian
movement, HAMAS, and the recent outcomes of Israeli strategies
aimed against this group and Palestinian nationalism external to
the Fatah faction of the Palestinian Authority. The example of
HAMAS challenges much of the current wisdom on "insurgencies" and
their containment. As the author, Dr. Sherifa Zuhur, demonstrates,
efforts have been made to separate HAMAS from its popular support
and network of social and charitable organizations. These have not
been effective in destroying the organization, nor in eradicating
the will to resist among a fairly large segment of the Palestinian
population. It is important to consider this Islamist movement in
the context of a region-wide phenomenon of similar movements with
local goals, which can be persuaded to relinquish violence, or
which could move in the opposite direction, becoming more violent.
