Islamic terrorist group founded in 1987
Received funding from Saddam Hussein

Responsible for many suicide bombings and terrorist acts against Israeli targets
Hamas in Its Own Words
Harakat al-Muqawamat al-Islamiyya , or "Islamic Resistance Movement") is a radical fundamentalist group founded on December 14, 1987 by the Muslim Brotherhood . ( Hamas describes itself as "one of the wings of the Muslim Brother[hood] .") As a single Arabic word rather than an acronym, "Hamas" means "zeal." Its avowed purpose is "liberating Palestine " from the Jew "oppressors ," whose presence in the Middle East it considers an affront to Muslims' rightful sovereignty in the land of the Prophet Mohammad. The organization's individual co-founders were Ahmed Yassin and Abdel Aziz al Rantisi . United Nations Oil-For-Food program was in effect, Saddam Hussein skimmed more than $21 billion from its coffers and sent some of it it directly to Hamas.Hezbollah , the Lebanon-based terror organization that is one of Hamas' major suppliers of weaponry . Hamas is best known for using violent methods -- including suicide bombings against Israeli military and civilian targets -- to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic Palestinian state. Charter , written in 1988, puts forth "The Slogan of the Hamas," which reads as follows: "Allah is its goal, the Prophet its model, the Qur'an its Constitution, Jihad its path, and death for the case of Allah its most sublime belief." The Charter says that jihad , or holy war, "becomes an individual duty binding on every Muslim man and woman; a woman must go out and fight the enemy even without her husband's authorization, and a slave without his masters' permission."jihad . All the initiatives and international conferences are a waste of time and a futile game." According to the Charter, those against whom jihad is to be directed are the Jews. "The Nazism of the Jews," it says, "does not skip women and children, it scares everyone. They make war against people's livelihood, plunder their moneys and threaten their honor." Hamas seeks to fulfill the Qur'anic scripture which reads: "The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!" To view additional quotes from the Hamas Charter, click here .Ahmed Yassin , who was killed on March 22, 2004, by Hellfire missiles fired by Israeli helicopter gun ships. Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat eulogized Yassin and declared three days of mourning.Abdel Aziz al Rantisi , who had escaped an Israeli assassination attempt in June 2003. The 54-year-old pediatrician initially threatened retaliatory attacks against both Israel and the United States, but later said that Hamas would target only Israel. On April 17, 2004, An Israeli helicopter launched a strike on Rantisi's car, killing him and two others -- one of them a bodyguard.Focus that he was prepared to include Hamas and Islamic Jihad in a new leadership structure to operate in parallel with the Palestinian Authority . "Forming a unified Palestinian leadership does not contradict the Palestinian Authority," Fatah Central Committee member Hani al-Hassan told Fatah-connected newspaper Al-Ayyam , "as it is an internal Palestinian factional issue." "We think that all political movements should take part in the political decision-making process," agreed senior Hamas figure Sheikh Said Siam. "We want a political partnership along new guidelines which take into account the weight of the various movements." But this alleged diversity of political viewpoints was illusory. On January 3, 2003, PLO political chief Farouq Al-Qaddoumi candidly acknowledged that Fatah, "strategically," was "never different from Hamas." stating "We have information Hamas agents have been on U.S. soil the past few years and that the group may currently have up to 100 agents operating inside America." According to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, "Hamas has an extensive infrastructure in the U.S. mostly revolving around the activities of fundraising, recruiting and training members, directing operations against Israel, organizing political support and operating through human rights front groups. … [I]t has the capability of carrying out attacks in America if it decided to enlarge the scope of its operations."characterized Israel's withdrawal as a "retreat" that was "a result of resistance and our people's sacrifice." Promising more violence, Haniyye declared , "Hamas confirms its adherence to resistance as a strategic option until the occupation retreats from our lands and holy places. Our movement reaffirms that it will protect its military apparatus …" said the following about Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip:
"We do not and will not recognize a state called Israel. Israel has no right to any inch of Palestinian land. This is an important issue. Our position stems from our religious convictions. This is a holy land. It is not the property of the Palestinians or the Arabs. This land is the property of all Muslims in all parts of the world."
"Let Israel die."
"We will enter the settlements and sully the dignity of Israel with our feet. We will stand on the ruins of the Israeli settlements and tell our people we have prevailed."
In elections held on January 27, 2006, Hamas won control of the Palestinian government when its party members took a majority of parliamentary seats. Formally assuming power on March 29, the newly installed Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh pledged to cooperate with President Mahmoud Abbas , Arafat's successor and head of the defeated Fatah party. At a Gaza news conference, Haniyeh said his relations with Abbas would stress "cooperation and harmony, based on the supreme interest of the people" -- which meant confronting "Israeli aggression against the people." The new 24-member Hamas Cabinet included 14 ministers who had previously served time in Israeli prisons.Fatah . Ismail Haniyeh kept his position as Prime Minister , and Hamas retained a majority of the cabinet, with twelve seats, with Fatah holding only six. announced that a "truce" it had made with Israel five months earlier was "officially over." To make the point, the terror group fired 39 Qassam rockets and 79 mortars from the Gaza Strip into nearby Jewish communities on the day that Israelis were celebrating their country's Independence Day. The projectiles were intended to divert Israeli attention while Hamas terrorists tried, unsuccessfully, to storm an Israeli military base on the Gaza border to kidnap Israeli soldiers. (It should be noted that the cease-fire had never been honored by Hamas; during the five months when it was supposedly in effect, Hamas simply passed its weaponry to other organizations which, in turn, launched more than 200 rockets from Gaza into Israel.)said in April 2007: "We don't recognize Israel's right to exist. We will never allow Jews to remain in our lands. ... We have thousands of rockets ready to be shot. The cease-fire is officially over." Abdullah warned that if Israel raided Gaza in retaliation for the new attacks, "the Zionists will be entering hell. We are preparing a major cemetery for them. We will step up attacks, including dispatching suicide bombers to Tel Aviv." He further explained that Hamas had used the cease-fire period to stockpile weaponry and to train for attacks against Israel.declared on May 21 that "Hamas is determined to wipe Israel off the map and replace it with the state of Palestine." He vowed to persevere "until the last Jew is expelled" from "all of Palestine."announced that he was dismissing his Hamas-led government and declared a state of emergency, thereby marking the end of the unity government that Hamas and Fatah had formed earlier in the year. Said Hamas military spokesman Islam Shahawan: "We are telling our people that the past era has ended and will not return. The era of justice and Islamic rule has arrived." In the more populous West Bank, by contrast, Fatah's position remained relatively secure. The Hamas government had been unable to establish its Executive Force militia there because of Israel's military presence in the region.Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) trial (which looked into evidence of HLF's fundraising on behalf of Hamas), the U.S. government released a list of approximately 300 of HLF's "unindicted co-conspirators" and "joint venturers." Among the unindicted co-conspirators were groups such as Hamas , the Council on American-Islamic Relations , INFOCOM, the Islamic Society of North America , the Muslim Arab Youth Association , the Islamic Association for Palestine , the United Association for Studies and Research , and the North American Islamic Trust. The list also included many individuals affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and/or Hamas. Among these were Omar Ahmad , Abdurahman Alamoudi , Yousef al-Qaradawi , Abdallah Azzam , Jamal Badawi , Mohammad Jaghlit , Mousa Abu Marzook , Abdel Aziz Rantisi , and Ahmed Yassin .publishes a biweekly, London-based children's magazine titled Al-Fateh , which regularly characterizes Jews as "murderers of the prophets"; lauds parents who encourage their sons to kill Jews; and, according to the Middle East Media Research Center , incites youngsters to "jihad and martyrdom and glorification of terrorist operations and of their planners and perpetrators." Each issue features an installment of "The Story of a Martyr," presenting the "heroic deeds" of a Muslim who died in a suicide bombing or who was killed before committing such crimes by the Israeli Defense Forces.
