Arafat does not control Hamas.

Prove it.

[Zeroisanumber]

I'm not going to type a goddamn essay on the political state of the Palestinian people. Arafat controls the PLO, Hamas is independent of PLO control. The PLO developed in the West Bank, Hamas developed in Lebanon. Arafat and Hamas have been at odds before and their soldiers have clashed in the past. When Arafat wants to send a suicide bomber he uses the Al-Asquah(sp?)Martyr's brigade, not Hamas.
