Ismail Haniya
The political leader of Hamas is the terrorist Ismail Haniya. He ran the Hamas security wing whose job was the murder of Palestinians it viewed as collaborators with Israel. He was the main assistant to the terrorist Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. Just before the January 25, 2006 Palestinian election, he made the following statements.
The constants and the strategy of Hamas do not change according to circumstances. Hamas will stay faithful to Jihad, to resistance, to guns, to Palestine, and to Jerusalem. (Middle East Online Jan 20, 2006)
The future state should include all of Palestine including Israel and be governed by laws inspired by sharia. (Interview with Agence France Press January 22, 2006)
Dialogue with Israel is not on Hamas' agenda. Hamas does not recognize the Zionist entity and views resistance as the only way to fight the occupier. We tried resistance and we saw that we got very good results. The Palestinian people know that the intifada and the resistance are the only solutions. (Al-Jazeera, January 18, 2006)
We tell you today that Hamas will go on until we raise flags over the Dome of the Rock. (Reuters, January 20, 2006)
We therefore explore the key words Ismail, Haniya, and Hamas. The name Haniya can be spelled either as הניה or הנייה. We explore both spellings. With the spelling הניה and the expected number of ELSs set to 100, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as area compact table as that produced by the Torah text is 253.5/1,000. With the spelling הנייה and the expected number of ELSs set to 20, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would have as area compact table as that produced by the Torah text is 4.5/1,000.
Rabbi Glazerson suggested that instead of exploring just Haniya, we explore the key word phrase Chief Haniya, chief or general being the designation applied to a leader of a militant group. With the expected number of ELSs set to 100, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would produce as small a table as that produced by the Torah text is 27.5/1,000.
From June 12 throrgh June 14, 2006 Hamas made a military coup and took over the Gaza strip. Therefore, it is reasonable to explore putting together Ismail Haniya with Gaza. With neither spelling of Haniyah were the best tables in the Torah text statistically significant.
As before, Rabbi Glazerson suggested that instead of exploring just Haniya, we explore the key word phrase Chief Haniya. With the expected number of ELSs set to 100, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would produce as small a table as that produced by the Torah text is 19/1,000.
We thought to explore combining Haniya, Gaza, and Hamas. With the expected number of ELSs set to 75, the probability that a text from the ELS random placement text population would produce as small a table as that produced by the Torah text is 21.5/1,000.
