HAMAS BEGAN WHEN AN UNEMPLOYED QUADRIPLEGIC SETTLED IN GAZA. BLAMING THE SECULAR AND LEFTIST PALESTINIAN MOVEMENTS FOR HIS MISFORTUNES, HE CONCEIVED A PLAN OF FORMING A SECRET ORGANIZATION TO ACQUIRE WEALTH AND POWER. GAZA WAS A PERFECT PLACE TO START THE ORGANIZATION, AS THE TERRITORY HAD FALLEN ON HARD TIMES AND THE POPULATION WAS DISILLUSIONED. SOON, THE ORGANIZATION WAS GROWING WITH THE ENTRY OF LIKE-MINDED RELIGIOUS MUSLIMS FROM ALL OVER ISRAEL. IN A SHORT TIME, HAMAS EVOLVED FROM A RELIGIOUS AND CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION INTO A PARAMILITARY MOVEMENT. MOTIVATED BY GREED AND POWER, THE GROUP SOON EXPANDED ALL OVER ISRAEL, OPERATING IN SECRET, ENGAGING IN TERRORISM TO ACHIEVE THEIR OBJECTIVES. BY THE TIME THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZED HAMAS AS A THREAT, THE ORGANIZATION HAD ALREADY GAINED FOOTHOLDS AS A POWERFUL PRIVATE ARMY AND TERRORIST ORGANIZATION AROUND THE COUNTRY. HAMAS WOULD EVENTUALLY ACHIEVE A SEMI-LEGITIMACY BY THE ARTIFICIAL CREATION OF THE STATE OF PALESTINE, WHICH WAS RECOGNIZED AS AN INDEPENDENT NATION BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THIS ALLOWED HAMAS TO HAVE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH THE U.S. AND EUROPE. CONFESSION: THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PROFILE OF THE NOTORIOUS GI JOE NEMESIS GROUP, COBRA, WITH MINOR TWEAKS TO NAMES AND PLACES, BUT THE MATERIAL PORTIONS UNTOUCHED. MAKES YOU WONDER...
