It depends upon your POV...
From Wikipedia:
Quote:
Hamas (Arabic: حماس Ḥamās, "enthusiasm", an acronym of حركة المقاومة الاسلامية Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, "Islamic Resistance Movement")
is the Palestinian Sunni Islamic or Islamist[5] political party[neutrality is disputed] that governs the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has a military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.[6]
Since June 2007 Hamas has governed the Gaza portion of the Palestinian Territories,
after it won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Parliament in the January 2006
Palestinian parliamentary elections[7] and then defeated the Fatah political organization
in a series of violent clashes.
Israel, the United States,[8] Canada,[9] the European Union,[10][11] and Japan classify Hamas
as a terrorist organization,[12][13] while Arab nations, Russia,[14] and Turkey[15] do not.
