""But many of these Islamist
movements changed after reaching power or coming close to doing so. After being
elected to office, Hamas began to gradually accept the Oslo framework and almost
stopped all resistance activities to guarantee its success in power.
In recent years, it has not
launched any resistance operations and mimicked Fatah by suppressing some
resistance fighters (regardless if it agrees or disagrees with them). It even
killed some of them and more than ever before adopted a position similar to
Fatah’s preoccupation with ensuring Israel’s safety rather than liberating
Palestine."" (thanks Sultan)
