How has Hama's helped the palestinian people?

Honesty it's like Isis in Syria, most people did not follow Isis terrorism and like the Palestinian people they suffer because Hama's attacked Israel. How do you support Hama's in it's attack and then turn the cheek?

Hamas (without the apostrophe) does everything the PLO/Fatah are unable or unwilling to do: Social services, health care, schools, garbage disposal, etc etc. I wrote this already, but the very visible militant wing of Hamas is only 20-25% of this multi-faceted organization. It doesn't help that Bibi Netanyahu is telling everyone he is going to "destroy Hamas", he obviously means the militants/terrorists in Hamas.

Quote:

"In the 1990s, some 85% of its budget was allocated to the provision of social services. Hamas has been called perhaps the most significant social services actor in Palestine. By 2000, Hamas or its affiliated charities ran roughly 40% of the social institutions in the West Bank and Gaza and, with other Islamic charities, by 2005, was supporting 120,000 individuals with monthly financial support in Gaza. Part of the appeal of these institutions is that they fill a vacuum in the administration by the PLO of the Palestinian territories, which had failed to cater to the demand for jobs and broad social services, and is widely viewed as corrupt."

but anyone can edit wikipedia. it is a private company consistently choosing anti israel wording.
hamas probably is the "source" of self praise unverifiable.

No. The Hamas was organizing all governmental duties in the Gaza Strip for 2, x million people for years. So they obviously do much more than just training militants. Or have you ever heard of people starving to death in Gaza?

Hamas has done nothing but harm to the innocent people of both Palestine and Israel.

In no discernable way.
