You may be interested in knowing the following about Hamas, extracted from Haim Shore, Coincidences in the Bible and in Biblical Hebrew (249)
● Hamas (Harakat Muqawama Islamiyya—the
Islamic Resistance Movement) was founded on December 14, 1987. The
Hamas Covenant plainly declares: “There is no other solution for the
Palestinian problem other than jihad. All the initiatives and
international conferences are a waste of time and a futile game.” [The
equivalent is stated in the Covenant of the PLO-Palestinian Authority.
(PE)]
●
In the democratic elections that took place in January 2006, Hamas had
won a majority in the parliament [of the Palestinian Authority], and
thus became the dominant faction of in the Palestinian political arena.
● What is the Hebrew meaning of Hamas (Chamas in Hebrew and in Arabic)?
— Chamas = act of seizing somebody else’s proper (plundering, extortion, property seized unjustly)
—The first mentioning of the word chamas
in the Bible is at the opening paragraph describing why God brought the
deluge: “The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled
with chamas ….”
[By
the way, the root of the word Philistine (Palestinian) in Hebrew means
to invade, to trespass, to go to the extreme of injustice. (PE)]
