Ethan Bronner: Hamas Shifts From Rockets to Culture War - '..."Armed resistance is still important and legitimate, but we have a new emphasis on cultural resistance," noted Ayman Taha, a Hamas leader and former fighter. "The current situation required a stoppage of rockets. After the war, the fighters needed a break and the people needed a break."...' [A break in terrorism while they work on longer range rockets.]
Yes, but whose culture are they resisting? Arab? Non-Muslim?
This also reminds us that they can, after all, stop the rocket attacks if they really want to.
