Branding it as \"terrorist\" or worse, this demonization intensified after the events in Southern Israel on October 7, 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book does not advocate for or against Hamas. Rather, in a series of rich and probing conversations with leading experts, it aims to deepen understanding of a movement that is a key player in the current crisis. It looks at, among other things, Hamas's critical shift from social and religious activism to national political engagement; the delicate balance between Hamas's political and military wings; and its transformation from early anti-Jewish tendencies to a stance that differentiates between Judaism and Zionism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth accessible and authoritative, \u003cem\u003eUnderstanding Hamas\u003c\/em\u003e provides much-needed insight into a widely misunderstood movement whose involvement in a just resolution of the Israel\/Palestine conflict will be critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helena Cobban, Rami G.
