Hamas is the current majority party in the elected government of Palestine, much as either Democrats or Republicans have a majority in the elected goverment of the US.
It was originally a movement founded to fight the Israeli occupation of Palestine, but has grown in popularity over the years, gaining legitimate political stature. Hamas is committed to regaining Palestine lands back from Israel, a thing which can only happen if Israel ceases to exists.

In the philosophy of their religion 1. Destroy Isreal 2. Rule the world, but there can be only one top man, so being the one who can claim responsibility for # 1 gives you an advantage in the contest, at which point all the big names in teh Middle East will be trying to knock each other off, it will make the violence in Iraq look like a Girl Scout cat fight.

to liberate Palestine from Israel occupation, and free them from suffering. Most of you guys don't understand, Palestinians are suffering under Israel brutal occupation.
Men are arrested, women are raped, children are killed, elderly are missiled. I believe if this happens in your country you will resist and fight back like what Hamas does. Would you be called "terrorist" for it?

Hamas wanted to sow violence in the countries allied with Israel so that they will stop financial and military support.
