From Tammy Swofford:
Hamas has been called many things, but it is really only one thing. Let’s take the snake out of the basket. We should be less than charmed. For the State Department of the United States, Hamas falls under the category of an FTO, or foreign terrorist organization.
The organization received this designation from us on October 8, 1997. The European General Court, in what must have been a fit of legal ischemia, took Hamas off their terrorist list in December of 2014. A United Nations committee gave a nod of respectability to Hamas with a vote to allow a Hamas-linked group consultative status. The Palestinian Return Center was recognized as a valid NGO in June 2015. Hamas was allowed to walk in the front door.
What about the governing class of Qatar? You can dress them up but you cannot clean them up. State-sponsored terrorism is their hobby. They are the Monte Carlo of terrorist gambits. In 2014 the leadership of Qatar pledged four hundred million to Hamas. This is what can happen when your real estate is on the dinky side but your global aspirations are on megalomaniac scale.
Hamas is successful because of two projections from the political lens.GO READ THE WHOLE THING.
