Hamas Holds the High Cards Forty years ago, I entered the Gaza Strip—soon after Israel had conquered that teeming cauldron of humanity after defeating Egypt in the Six-Day War—to report on the Israelis' bubbling optimism about their young nation's future. "Come back in 10 years," I was told by an Israeli general, "and you won't recognize the place," he said, spelling out visions of economic development and a grateful Arab population. Similar predictions were made for the West Bank, which had been administered by Jordan in a somewhat more humane yet quite oppressive manner.

Hamas Holds the High Cards

Forty years ago, I entered the Gaza Strip—soon after Israel had conquered that teeming cauldron of humanity after defeating Egypt in the Six-Day War—to report on the Israelis' bubbling optimism about their young nation's future. "Come back in 10 years," I was told by an Israeli general, "and you won't recognize the place," he said, spelling out visions of economic development and a grateful Arab population. Similar predictions were made for the West Bank, which had been administered by Jordan in a somewhat more humane yet quite oppressive manner.
