Briefs about Hamas
Hand-written political-science mini-papers comparing Hamas to other parties. 5 briefs on file.
- Hamas vs. Fatah PS The Palestinian split. Fatah's secular-nationalist PLO doctrine vs Hamas's Islamist resistance frame — the same national project across very different registers.
- Hamas vs. Freedom and Justice Party EG Brotherhood electoral vs Brotherhood armed. Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood's 2011 electoral vehicle against the Palestinian Brotherhood branch that became Hamas. Same religious-political tradition, two political ecologies.
- Hamas vs. Hezbollah LB The axis of resistance, by sect. Iranian-backed Shia Islamist party-army against Muslim Brotherhood-rooted Sunni Islamist resistance movement. Allies against the same adversary, doctrinally distinct in almost every other respect.
- Hamas vs. Likud IL The headline cleavage. Israel's Jewish-nationalist mainstream right against the Palestinian Islamist resistance movement. Two parties that don't recognise the other's right to exist on the same land.
- Hamas vs. Palestinian Islamic Jihad PS Palestinian armed Islamism, by lineage. Hamas's Brotherhood roots against PIJ's Khomeinist-revolutionary doctrine. Allied in the field, doctrinally distinct in origin.
