Organized by radical Palestinian Islamists, the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, openly calls for the destruction of the Jewish state. It started as an armed terrorist movement that recruited suicide bombers and instructed them to set off their devices in crowded restaurants, buses, and shopping centers. These attacks gained Hamas popularity and in 2006 it was voted into power by a surprising majority of Palestinians, and in June 2007 it seized total control of the Gaza region of the Palestinian territories, driving out by force Fatah, its competitor for power.
