...comparison between Hamas and Likud is inaccurate on a number of levels. The first regards religiosity. While Likud was seen as an ultra-nationalist party in 1977, Hamas combines ultra-nationalism with fundamentalist Islamism. It does not merely pursue an international policy that is uncompromising, and territorially maximalist, but also formally seeks the implementation of sharia as the law of the land—with all of the complications that such a program would pose for Muslim women and for the myriad Arab-Christian groups living under its authority...
