INTRODUCTION
Formed in late 1987 as an outgrowth of the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Various HAMAS elements have used both political and violent means, including terrorism, to pursue the goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in place of Israel.
Loosely structured, with some elements working clandestinely and others working openly through mosques and social service institutions to:
recruit members, raise money, organize activities, and distribute propaganda.
HAMAS’s strength is concentrated in the Gaza Strip and a few areas of the West Bank. Also has engaged in peaceful political activity, such as running candidates in West Bank Chamber of Commerce elections.
Throughout the Middle East, from North Africa to Iran, extremist voices are being raised in the name of Islam, demanding political power and the destruction of Israel.
Inside of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, the echoes of this phenomenon have produced two movements, HAMAS and the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, both of which seek to undermine the Jewish State from within.

HAMAS, the Arabic acronym of the Islamic Resistance Movement in Palestine, officially came into being in August of 1988.
Founded as an alternative to the secular Palestine Liberation Organization, HAMAS offers its activists the total rejection of Israel together with absolute salvation.
The acronym HAMAS, taken from the Arabic Harakat al-Muqawama al-lslamiya – Islamic Resistance Movement, literally denotes “zeal” or “enthusiasm.”
The HAMAS Covenant, however, interprets its name to mean “strength and bravery.”
HAMAS is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood movement, which was founded in Egypt in 1928 by Sheik Hasan al-Bana; and subsequently spread throughout the Arab world.
The Brotherhood shares with HAMAS a complete rejection of Western values and Communism and calls for the establishment of a pan-Islamic state founded on the basis of shari’a, or Islamic law.
A LAW TO ALLOW THE EXECUTION OF CHRISTIANS AND NON-JEWS IN AMERICA WAS PASSED IN 1991
To attain this objective, the Brotherhood promoted the concept of an ideal Muslim state to be ruled by a Caliph, the title bestowed upon the successors of the Prophet Muhammad at the beginning of the Islamic empire.

The two movements similarly share the view that Israel is the theological archenemy of Islam; and, in this capacity, Israel acts as the agent of the West in the region.

Throughout its history, the Muslim Brotherhood has been supportive of the Palestinian cause.
During the anti-Jewish riots in British Mandatory Palestine of 1936 and 1939 the Brotherhood supported Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Mufti of Jerusalem and leader of the Arab Higher Committee.
Brotherhood members were sent from Egypt to participate as fighters together with the Palestinian Arabs, an effort that was repeated during the 1948 war.
Volunteers from both the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood movement and its newly formed counterpart among Palestinian Arabs fought to prevent the establishment of the State of Israel.
Activities
HAMAS activists, especially those in the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, have conducted many attacks–including large-scale suicide bombings–against Israeli civilian and military targets.
In the early 1990s, they also targeted suspected Palestinian collaborators and Fatah rivals.
Claimed several attacks during the unrest in late 2000.

The Charter of the HAMAS
Ami Isseroff

The highlights from MidEastWeb Website.
“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”
Miles Williams Mathis: Philip III the Bold & the Crusades – Library of Rickandria
“The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day.
It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up.”
“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad.
Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.”
“After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates.
