Hamas and Hizbollah: The Radical Challenge to Israel in the Occupied Territories.

Abstract

The author argues that two Arab religious organizations--Hamas, operating in Israeli-occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank, and Hizbollah, operating in southern Lebanon--are more dangerous to U.S. interests than heretofore has been thought. They are not mere terrorist groups, but part of a universal movement that has succeeded in mobilizing elements previously suppressed throughout the Middle East, and is attempting to radicalize the whole Arab world. This study seeks to alert U.S. policymakers and military leaders to the larger potential danger posed by Hamas and Hizbollah.
