NOTE: It is incumbent on the editor who adds this template to an article to explain why they did so, in order to start the discussion. "Drive-by" templating without stopping to discuss is discouraged.Hamas is an organization that sees itself as a resistance organization with the purpose of defending Islam and Islamic values from Israeli aggression. Most Western nations consider it a terrorist organization. Hamas was founded by Ahmed Yassin and Mohammad Taha.
Many Hamas members have died in conflict with Israel - though apparently they are happy about this as they have communicated from paradise that they are martyrs and consequently they are getting it on with the virgins.
Hamas is also involved in numerous social welfare programmes and is popular among Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
