Fear is Driving Hamas to Further Radicalize
Friday, November 22, 2013 | Aviel Schneider
Hamas finds itself increasingly isolated and under pressure after the fall of its Muslim Brotherhood patrons in Egypt, the combined Israeli-Egyptian effort to shut down Gaza's smuggling and terror tunnels, and Iran's newfound reluctance to fund the group.
Hamas' response to this situation has been increasing radicalization. In Gaza today, the Islamists rule by brute force, imposing something of a reign of terror.
Several Palestinians from Jerusalem and the region around Hebron told Israel Today just how dire the situation has become.
"As dissatisfaction among the Palestinian population [in Gaza] grows, Hamas' only recourse is to become increasingly strict," said Adel, whose uncle Abasan al-Kabir lives in the Gaza town of Khan Younis.
