| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] In the mid-1990s, the Kuwaiti magazine "Mugtama" which is affiliated with the Brotherhood interviewed Ahmad Yassin, the historic leader of the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, movement. The headline predicted Israel’s demise before the millennium. Yassin spoke in a dream-like manner and refused to head in the direction of a conflict with the Paleostinian Liberation Organization despite all provocations and cited the Koranic verse: "If you should raise your hand against me to kill me, I shall not raise my hand against you to kill you." Few decades later, Hamas announced its new charter in which it amended its founding charter. In the charter it announced on May 2, Hamas voiced its worry over its current situation due to political and ideological considerations and international changes. The movement has never denied its Brotherhood roots since its establishment in December 1987. Its founding charter stipulates that Hamas is a branch of the Moslem Brüderbund and is influenced by it, and it also commended the Brotherhood’s ideology. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... there is currently an international and regional wave against the Brotherhood which has been listed as a terror group by some countries. The current American administration has hinted that it will list the group’s cadres on its terror list. This made Hamas enhance its presence in the international legal arena in order to shield itself from any harm as a result of its Brotherhood affiliations. |

| #1 the Saudis (who control al arabiya)have given billions to the PA over the years; they began cutting back in 2015 and the total Saudi aid to the PA was only about $30M in 2016 and may not reach that in 2017 |
