..Why Islamic State has no sympathy for Hamas..
Bernard Rougier’s ‘Everyday Jihad (The Rise of Militant Islam Among Palestinians in Lebanon)’ published 2007 concluded
At a time when Arab satellite channels are showing images of Palestinian suffering, the United States’ enemies in the region understand the importance of a conflict that American neo-conservatives have systematically refused to see as anything other than a pretext for Arab dictators trying to make up a legitimacy deficit. American and European responsibility is certainly stronger for this question than for any other, since a peace process that anchored Palestinian identity around a territory and a viable state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, would have given the Palestinian side and the Arab regimes the means of fighting the jihadist forces with their own societies – by the sheer force of conviction.
