For ruined Palestinians, Hamas leaps up in prestige

Fabulous reporting by Charles Levinson in the Wall Street Journal:

"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."

It was for similar reasons that Jews flocked to Zionism after World War II.
