Hamas: A Beginner's Guide por Khaled Hroub
'This short, timely introduction provides a history of the movement, a rundown of key policies, sketches of key figures ... Hroub's aim is to "debunk" western misconceptions by depicting what he calls "the real Hamas": embedded in the community by its social arms, and driven to suicide bombing by Israeli intransigence. [Yet] Hroub is not afraid to voice criticism or disquiet.' Guardian'This book could not be timelier. Khaled Hroub expertly answers every important question about Hamas and insightfully explains its ideology, organisation and appeal. Concise, lucid and invaluable.' James Piscatori, Oxford Centre for Islamic StudiesThe U.S. views Hamas as a terrorist organisation. Yet, to the great surprise of many, Hamas swept to victory in the 2006 Palestinian Authority elections. Hamas is now a democractically elected political party.This is the first beginner's guide to this controversial political organisation. Explaining the reasons for Hamas's success, this book provides the key facts that are so often missing from conventional news reports. It's a one-stop guide that gives a clear overview of Hamas's history, key beliefs, and its political agenda.Written by a leading Al-Jazeera journalist and Cambridge academic, this unique book provides a refreshing perspective that gets to the heart of the reasons behind Hamas's victory.It provides a critical overview of Hamas's attitudes to Israel, including religious beliefs and suicide bombings, its attitude to the PLO and its programme of grassroots social work within Palestine.The reality of Hamas's victory means that the West will now have to engage with it more seriously if there is to be peace in the Middle East. This book provides the first essential step towards a better understanding of the challenges and suprises that the future may hold.Praise for Khaled Hroub's previous book, Hamas: Political Thought and Practice:'[Hroub's] in-depth and dispassionate presentation of the Hamas doctrine is masterful.'Foreign Affairs'The best-researched and most objective study.'Joseph Massad, Columbia University… (más)
L'autore-direttore dell'Arab Project presso Cambridge e collaboratore di Al Jazeera-presenta al lettore italiano un breve saggio di media divulgazione storica costruita su una percezione della realta' storica profondamente dogmatica,filo-araba e in buona sostanza anti-israeliana e antiamericana.Se la genesi ideologica di Hamas e' da rintracciarsi in modo indiscutibile nella filosofia politica dei Fratelli Musulmani-ed in particolare nelle riflessioni di Qutob-,quella puramente cronologica non puo' che fare riferimento al sorgere della prima Intifada e quindi al 1987.Nonostante gli aspetti marcatamente antisemiti del Manifesto fondativo,l'autore ne ridimensiona profondamente la portata sottolineando la profonda diversita' tra l'antisionismo e l'antisemitismo.In merito alle finalita' queste possono dispiegarsi a diverso livello:quelle relative alla politica interna sono volte alla realizzazione di uno stato islamico che comprenda l'intera Palestina(dal fiume Giordano al Mar Mediterraneo),a liquidare politicamente al-Fatah divenendo il principale interlocutore a livello internazionale,a sostenere economicamente e a educare politicamente e religiosamente le masse palestinesi(p.e.la penetrazione politica presso l'Universita' di Bir Zeit costituisce una inequivocabile dimostrazione di finalita' egemonico-culturale);quelle relative alla politica estera si concretizzano nella eliminazione politica e militare di Israele la cui presenza e' ritenuta semplicemente inammissibile sotto tutti I punti di vista.Per quanto concerne gli strumenti messi in campo da Hamas questi fino a questo momento si sono concretizzati servendosi dell'ampia ventaglio strategico offerto dalla guerra asimmetrica(dalle manifestazioni di massa,agli scioperi,alla guerra psicologica fino agli attentatati suicidi) prescidendo dalla distinzione tra militari e civili.Infatti gli attentati suicidi sono valutati come una risposta proporzionale a quella israeliana.Ideologicamnete Hamas dichiara esplicitamente la piena legittimita' della jihad. In relazione ai finanziamenti l'autore valuta il budget annuale in dieci milioni di dollari frutto del sostegno popolare e naturalmente dei consistenti finanziamenti dei paesi arabi il cui modus operandi nel contesto del capitalismo e' letto positivamente da Hamas.Gran parte di questi finanziamenti-secondo l'autore-sono riservati al sostegno della popolazione e solo una minima parte alla attivita' militare.Infine per quanto concerne la percezione del nemico Israele viene vista come una nazione occupante,ampiamente protetta e tutelata dagli Usa,le sue azioni militari sono sempre lette come offensive ed espansionistiche mentre quelle di Hamas come esclusivamente difensive.Complessivamente-dunque-la rappresentazione che Hamas ha di se' stessa e' tipica della propoganda integrista e non presenta tratti di particolare novita' rispetto a quella che fu propria dell'Olp di Arafat.

Dozens of Muslim, Christian and Jewish religious channels have been established, advocating differing forms of religiosity and shaping public perceptions through their transmission of discussion programmes, preaching, proselytisation pure and simple, and guidelines about how best to live a pious life. Even mainstream leading news channels such as Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya have broadcast popular religious shows since their inception. Some of this programming is highly politicised, such as Hamas’s Al-Aqsa or Hizbullah’s Al-Manar channels; other stations present themselves as apolitical, concerned only with preaching God’s word.
The highly charged political and religious ferment in the Middle East today has certainly been propitious for such broadcasters as they seek to convey their message. This has in turn reinforced the connection between the dominant ‘religious atmosphere’ and religious broadcasting. Based on monitoring and content-analysis of some of the region’s most influential religious channels and programmes, the contributors to this book offer pioneering insights into this uncharted terrain. They explore the themes, discourses, appearances and the ‘celebrities’ of this still expanding phenomenon of religious broadcasting in the Middle East.… (más)
