Al-Din Al-Qassam

• Chronology-Arab-Israeli Conflict

A Hamas-led ambush killed the three Israeli soldiers - the largest single day of casualties for the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in the area in over three years - and prompted an IDF air strike in Gaza which killed five Palestinian children, among others. The Israeli government announced a project to build almost 900 new housing units in East Jerusalem, an area that the Palestinian National Authority claimed was being increasingly populated with Jewish settlements in an effort to separate Palestinian areas from the rest of the West Bank. Three militants who belonged to the 'Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, were killed in an Israeli air raid outside Jebaylia in northern Gaza that targeted fighters who launched mortar shells into Israel.

• Talking Points

The ombudsman for the Washington Post, for example, argued that, since Hamas is a "nationalist movement" engaged in "some social work," the perpetrators of Palestinian suicide and other attacks should be described in the press as "militants" or "gunmen" (Washington Post, Sept. 21, 2003). A false distinction is made between the "political" and "military" wings of Hamas. All of the activities of Hamas are intertwined, and serve the organization's primary objective laid out in its covenant: to "raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine. The "political" leaders of Hamas freely admit their relationship to the murderers. "The political leadership," Hamas spokesman, 'Abd al-'Aziz ar-Rantisi said, "has freed the hand of the ['Izz ad-Din al-Qassam] brigades to do whatever they want...

• The culture of resistance: the 1967 War in the context of the Palestinian struggle.

Palestinian Arabs have developed a culture of resistance to the state of Israel not only because the latter was recognized as a state in 1948 but also as a reaction to Israeli colonization in Palestine, the loss of Palestinian land to Israel and the lack of any channel to peacefully state their claims and obtain justice. The history of Palestinian resistance and the effect of the war of 1967 among Palestinians are analyzed.

• Hamas's Web School for Suicide Bombers

Since coming to power through elections in early 2006 and following its military coup in Gaza in June 2007, Hamas has continued this path of indoctrination, utilizing its popular children's website. [...] it sees to it that the teachers employed throughout the strip impart its ideological and political views alongside the official pedagogical and educational approaches.4 One way to get a good idea of the substance of those views is by turning to Al-Fateh, Hamas's web-based magazine for children and youth? ITS MASTER'S VOICE Al-Fateh (Al-Fatih) website went online in September 2002.
