Indeed, were it not for  misguided Israeli and American policies, Hamas would not be in control  of the territory in the first place.</FONT></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alternet.org/audits/116855/america%27s_hidden_role_in_hamas%27s_rise_to_power/?page=entire">Israel  initially encouraged the rise of the Palestinian Islamist movement as  a counter to the Palestine Liberation Organization, the secular  coalition composed of Fatah and various leftist and other nationalist  movements. Beginning in the early 1980s, with generous funding from  the U.S.-backed family dictatorship in Saudi Arabia, the antecedents  of Hamas began to emerge through the establishment of schools, health  care clinics, social service organizations and other entities that  stressed an ultraconservative interpretation of Islam, which up to that  point had not been very common among the Palestinian population.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/57417816-DCFD-4FF1-A3E7-7F5755EDA5D7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
