is the main factor in bringing Hamas
into the political field," Steinberg said.
"The ideal situation for Hamas would
have been for most of Palestinian society
to accept its ultimate values, but the fact
that society is tired, worried and yearn-
ing for a kind of time-out from the
intifada compels Hamas to enter the
political arena."
The group's rhetoric remains nearly as
belligerent as always, but the political
consequences are different. A Hamas
leader in Gaza, Mahmoud Al-Zahar,
said his movement wants to join the
Palestine Liberation Organization, the
main umbrella body for Palestinian
groups, "to consolidate the resistance
option in its capacity as the strategic
option toward the liberation of
Palestine."
Zahar reacted to growing concern
among secular Palestinians that Islam

and democracy can not go together. The
issue recently was raised by Ghassan
Khatib, the P.A. minister of planning, in
an article on Bitterlemons. The Web site
has dealt at length with Hamas' growing
power.
Secularists question whether Islamists
who take power by democratic means
are committed to maintaining democra-
cy, Khatib wrote.
Fatah would be expected to rally its
forces to face the challenge from Hamas.
But Fatah, the ruling party, is preoccu-
pied with an internal crisis that is devel-
oping mainly along the rift between the
so-called old and new guards.
"Today, in the eyes of most of the
population, Fatah is identified with cor-
ruption and the dysfunctionality of the
PA, whereas Hamas is considered clean
by comparison," Steinberg said in the
Bitterlemons interview. ❑

sabras and immigrants. We mix big
companies — Intel was just here —

schools. We mix Ashkenazi and

new immigrants from absorption cen-
ters come. Everyone works side by

"We work with anyone who shows
up to glean," Gitler says. "We don't
necessarily get their names, and we
don't ask anyone for their family back-
ground.
"So the truth is, we don't always
know which people, within which
groups, are immigrants and which are
sabras."
Hunger manifests itself differently in
Israel than it does in less-developed
parts of the world, Swartz says.
"Hunger isn't the right word. It's not

little kids with bloated tummies," he
says. "What we do have is nutritional
insecurity — a clumsy phrase — but
it means single mothers who have to
choose between a nutritional meal for
their kids or paying the rent.
"Or a senior citizen who has to
choose between food and medicine.
The unemployed or working poor.
People who can't afford nutritional
foods, like meat and vegetables, and
try to live on cheaper foods, like rice
and pasta.
"Of those kinds of people, unfortu-
nately, there doesn't seem to be any
end." ❑

The Answer

Israel is in a war against terrorists. War's cruelties include destruction, road-
blocks and disruptions to the economy and education. To defend itself, Israel
must arrest terrorists and thwart, sometimes with deadly force, those in the
act of executing terrorist attacks.
But Israel's army is civilian controlled by a democratic government that
punishes its own lawbreakers and has strict rules of engagement to protect
civilians.
Israel has agreed to every cease-fire and peace initiative. The war will end
on the same day that the Palestinians end the terror.
