"Hamas is now our army, the only ones fighting to defend the
Palestinian people," said Gaza resident Ahmed al-Sultan, standing
outside the rubble of the north Gaza City home his family has lived in
for 40 years. "I saw how they fight, their courage and their sacrifice,
and so I've changed my opinion about them."

why shouldn't it?
