Hamas: Politics, Charity, and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) Matthew Levitt - The notion that Hamas' military, political, and social "wings" are distinct from one another is belied by ample evidence. Hamas meets in the mosques and hospitals it maintains to plan terror attacks, buries caches of arms and explosives under its own schoolyard playgrounds, and transfers and launders funds for terrorist activity through local charity committees. The real Hamas is an organization that threatens peace and security far beyond the borders of the West Bank and Gaza.
