Obidiah 8-10"Will I not on that day," declares the LORD, "Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau ?
"Then your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman, So that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever.
violence = hebrew word khaw-mawce - Hamas?

I would think neither, that they are descendents of ishmael:
Gen 16:11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Yes, basing your appraisal of current geo-political strife on 1900 year-old mythological texts is certainly a wise approach.
