This video explores how Hamas came to power, what its role is today, and what Israel’s relationship is with the group. It raises big questions like: Is Hamas a democracy? Can Israel negotiate with a terror group that refuses to recognize its right to exist? Can Israeli citizens endure the rocket fire and terror attacks indefinitely? Can Gazans tolerate the way their government treats them? Watch this video and use the prompts to tackle this tough topic with your students.
