New Book Review: Hamas in Politics

Hamas in Politics: Democracy, Religion, Violence by Jeroen Gunning

An in-depth look at the internal structure and reasoning behind Hamas and what it stands for, author Jeroen Gunning’s impressive research includes many interviews with Hamas members as well as Hamas critics. He even spends time living in Gaza in order to understand the ideologies and political views that have caused decades of warfare and terror. Although a thorough analysis, as always when dealing with this type of subject, it would be a good idea for the Jewish readership to take with a grain of salt since it is yet to be determined if there is truly a way to report in a completely non-biased way.
