Hamas: A Disaster for Everyone

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Aug 10 2010, 10:55 AM ET Comment

Hussein Ibish:
For the Palestinian people and cause, however, Hamas' policies are disastrous. They have split the Palestinian movement into two irreconcilable camps, led to international isolation and the blockade of Gaza, fueled extremism on the Israeli right and undermined international confidence that Palestinians really seek a negotiated peace with Israel. What Palestinians urgently need is an end to the occupation, which can only be achieved through a two-state solution. The last thing they need is for their cause to become the centerpiece of a regional Islamist campaign to topple governments or a plaything in the hands of a cynical Iranian hegemonic agenda.
