The chilling reality for
hose who compile balance
sheets is that the most im-
pressive winners of the pro-
tracted showdown have been
the Islamic radicals of the
Hamas movement, who
'claim credit for inspiring the
uprising in Gaza five years
ago and who now resolutely
oppose any form of political
'ompromise with Israel.
[ It is they who are now the
beneficiaries of largesse
from the Gulf states. It is
they who are now being
courted with political,
. .
inhtary and financial sup-
port from Iran, reinforcing
the substantial power base
that Hamas has built in the
territories, where it is
thought to enjoy a clear
majority in Gaza and the
support of about 40 percent
•n the West Bank.
For Chairman Arafat, the
urgeoning power of mili-
ant fundamentalism repre-
sents a defeat for PLO na-
ionalism and it is for this
eason as much as for any
other that he is reluctant ac-
cept Israel's offer of elections
in the territories and take
the first step down the road
to peace.
This offers little consola-
tion for Israel. The
emergence of Hamas as a po-
itical force carries grave
'mplications not only for the
olitical future of the ter-
itories and the peace pro-
cess, but also for Israel's
rab citizens, who have
demonstrated an alarming
receptivity for religious
1:.adic alism.
Hamas, like its Lebanese
counterpart Hizbollah, is a
genie that will not easily be
returned to its bottle. It also
may prove to be the most en-
during legacy of the intifada.
How did it get to this
point?
A prime reason has been
Mr. Arafat himself. It was
left to him to convert diplo-
matic victory into political
gains. But his mind-set and
rhetoric were frozen in the
aximilist Arab positions of
the late Sixties and his cons-
tant struggle to walk a
tightrope between rejec-
tionists and pragmatists
engendered paralysis.
As late as June 1988, six
months after the start of the
intifada, he was still using
the same old worn-out
cliches when he stood up at a
summit meeting of Arab
leaders in Algiers to demand
that "the Arab will" be im-
posed on Israel.
Passing among the dele-
gates, however, was Bassam
Abu Sharif, a young aide to
the PLO leader, who
distributed a document he
