“HAMAS and Israel: Conflicting Strategies of Group-Based Politics”
Authored by Dr. Sherifa D. Zuhur.
Added December 23, 2008

SNIPPET: “Efforts to separate HAMAS from its popular support and network of social and charitable organizations have not been effective in destroying the organization, nor in eradicating the will to resist among a fairly large segment of the Palestinian population. It is important to consider this Islamist movement in the context of a region-wide phenomenon of similar movements with local goals, which can be persuaded to relinquish violence or which could become more violent. Certainly an orientation to HAMAS and its base must be factored into new and more practical and effective approaches to peacemaking in the region. At the same time, HAMAS offers a fascinating glimpse of the dynamics of strategic reactions and the modification of Israeli impulses towards aggressive deterrence, as well as the evolution in the Islamist movements’ planning and operations. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict bears similarities to a long-standing civil conflict, even as it has sparked inter-Palestinian hostilities in its most recent phase.”

“’Israeli man wanted to spy for Iran’”
By YAAKOV LAPPIN

SNIPPET: “On December 22, the police’s Serious and International Crimes Unit arrested Mauricio Segel and handed him over to the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) for questioning.

Segel told his interrogators that during a stay in Argentina in 2006, he had repeatedly made contact with an Iranian diplomat at the Iranian Embassy in Buenos Aires.

Segel offered to pass on information to the Iranians in exchange for a financial reward. He provided the Iranians with copies of his passport and his Israeli ID card after removing his personal details from the documents.”
