They elected Hamass and the leader of the PA, Mahmoud Abbas, said (documented in papers) "Don't turn your guns on each other! Turn your guns on Israel!"
They receive financial support from Syria and Iran for militant activities.
They have gone into their third intifada, (uprising or 'dogs throwing off fleas' in Arabic).
They continually go over the Wall, and dig under it, and make tunnels, which is how they managed to kidnap Gilad Shalit, who has still not been released.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has addressed Ismail Haniyeh, the Prime Minister and leader of Hamass, as his 'Palestinian brother' and spoken of how they must not 'ruin the spoils of the Palestinian struggle for so long.' This from a 'moderate'--he deals with an illegal organization that won't recognize peace agreements, sends rockets into Israel and refuses to support a ceasefire and their right to exist.

Pardon me, it was Hezbollah who kidnapped Gilad Shalit. However, Hezbollah is affiliated with Hamass.
