This history of Hamas addresses the roots of the movement in Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, its creation as a Palestinian alternative to the PLO with the intention to prevent acceptance of Israel and eventually to destroy the Jewish state, its use of terrorism to undermine the Oslo Accords, its victory in the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections, its violent ouster of the Palestinian Authority from Gaza in 2007, and its repeated armed conflicts with Israel. This broad history is covered in about 1,000 words, including links to the Hamas charter and its leaders' statements, demonstrating its vicious antisemitism.
