The radical Islamist movement Hamas shocked the world when
it won a landslide election victory in January 2006 in the
Palestinian occupied territories.
One of the few journalists not to be surprised by this
outcome was Zaki Chehab who has developed an international
reputation as a fearless reporter and was one of the first
to interview members the Iraqi resistance in May 2003.
Fluent in Arabic, he is a Palestinian refugee who grew up in
UN refugee camps and has unique access to and understanding
of Hamas.
Like Hezbollah in neighboring Lebanon, Chehab shows how
Hamas built a formidable social base in Palestine through
its welfare programs. He also explains why, in the face of
the endless complexities, disappointments and delays brought
about by the signing of the Oslo Peace Accord, Hamas's
strategy of armed struggle and terrorism offers the
Palestinian people a seductive, simple and deadly alternative.
