That may help explain why the movement - under pressure from Arab governments to make it easier to stand up to U.S. pressure to cut all financial aid - has been debating a move toward a de facto two-state solution. But if the anger generated on the streets by Abbas's referendum ultimatum is sufficiently widespread, Hamas may decide to call his bluff - because they believe they can win the issue where it counts, in the streets...
