Hamas
The Palestinian group Hamas is known for their terror tactics, their suicide bombers, their violence to the people Israel as well as their violence to their own people who politically oppose them. Hamas' charter (written in 1988 and still in effect) calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and its replacement with a Palestinian Islamic state in the area that is now Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Its charter states:
It is easy to see that Hamas' ideology is autocratic, anti-democratic, and anti-Jewish, and does not recognize the existence of the State of Israel. Hamas is listed as a terrorist organization by Canada, the European Union, Israel, Japan, and the United States, and is banned in Jordan, Australia and the United Kingdom.Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it. (Introduction)
The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. (Article 11)
There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. (Article 13)
Hamas is funded by Iran. Like its Iranian masters, Hamas believes in setting long-term goals and achieving them in stages. First, take over the Palestinian Authority, then take over the West Bank and Gaza. East Jerusalem is the next stage, and after that Israel. Like Iran, Hamas is willing to bide its time, make temporary ceasefire agreements, and carry out one stage after the other - but it will not be deterred from its basic goals.

In April 2006, Iran's Islamic regime pledged $50 million to Hamas. Regarding the takeover of the Gaza strip by Hamas, the Palestinian intelligence chief accused Iran of close involvement, saying Tehran funded the Islamic militants and trained hundreds of them.
Therefore, it is natural to explore Gaza with Hamas. We try with expected number of ELSs set to 200. The probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as area compact table as that produced by the Torah text is 14/1,000.
Hamas receives funding from Palestinian expatriates, and private benefactors in Saudi Arabia and other moderate Arab states and from Iran. Some fundraising and propaganda activities take place in Western Europe and North America. In 2003 US intelligence sources estimated that the militant Palestinian group Hamas had an annual budget of 50 million dollars. Since then, its budget has dramatically increased. In April 2006, Iran's Islamic regime alone pledged $50 million to Hamas.

Regarding the takeover of the Gaza strip by Hamas, the Palestinian intelligence chief accused Iran of close involvement, saying Tehran funded the Islamic militants and trained hundreds of them. Therefore, we explore key word Hamas and Iran. There are two spellings for Iran, אירנ and איראנ. We try both of them. For the spelling, אירנ, we set the expected number of ELSs to 200. The probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would produce a table as area compact as that produced by the Torah text is 30.5/1,000.
For the spelling איראנ, we set the expected number of ELSs to 50. The probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would produce a table as area compact as that produced by the Torah text is 55/1,000.
On January 25, 2006, during the Jewish month of Tevet, the month that corresponds to the zodiac sign of Capricorn, there was the Palestinian election. In that election the Hamas party was on the ballet and gained a substantial number of seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council. Before this election, Rabbi Glazerson formed the sentence Hamas will be elected to the Palestinian Authority in Tevet. The table that resulted is highly statistically signficant. The probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as small an area table as that produced by the Torah text is smaller than 1/100,000.
There is a relevant development of this table. In the table's area are ELSs for the key words: Hater, Enemy, Terrorist, Haniya.
The verses in which this table occurs are also relevant. The verses tell us how the hand of God will work to judge Israel, through Israel's enemies.
Israel's enemies will think that they prevailed by their own prowess, independently of God's anger toward Israel, -- but that will be their undoing, because it will cause God to intervene on the side of Israel.I shall accumulate evils against them.
My arrows shall I use up against them.
I shall dispatch against them bloating of famine, battles of flaming demons, cutting down by the noontime demon, and the teeth of beasts with the venom of those that creep on the earth.
On the outside, the sword will bereave, while indoors there will be dread -- even a young man, even a virgin, a suckling with the gray-haired man. (Deuteronomy 32:22-26)
These verses of judgment conclude withI had said,
I will scatter them; I will cause their memory to cease from manwere it not that the anger of the enemy was pent up, lest his tormenters misinterpret; lest they say,Our hand was raised in triumphand it was not Hashem Who accomplished all this.For they are a nation bereft of counsel, and there is no discernment in them.
For how could one pursue a thousand, and two cause a myriad to flee, if not that their Rock had sold them out, and Hashem had delivered them? (Deuteronomy 32:27-28)
Mine is vengeance and retribution at the time their foot will falter,
For the day of their catastrophe is near, and future events are rushing at them.
When Hashem will have judged His people. (Deuteronomy 32:35-36)
