Religious Radicals
The recent editorial on Palestine (July 14) correctly identified the problems for Palestinian national progress posed by Israeli and US agendas. However, there is a danger in over-celebrating Hamas as a nationbuilding force if we wish to support secular nationhood. Landslide popular victories in India by religious radicals have been roundly critiqued – why not everywhere else, including Palestine?
