Who are Hamas? (Harif, 19 October 2023)

As Hamas’s war with Israel develops following its brutal assault of 7 October, what do we know about this Palestinian jihadist group, founded in 1987 but with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood ? What is Hamas’s ideology? Its objectives? What do Arab regimes think of it?

For a clearer understanding, Harif is honoured to have Professor Norman Stillman give us the essential background in this special talk. The author of the acclaimed ‘Jews of Arab Lands: a history and source book’, Dr Stillman is an internationally recognised authority on the history and culture of the Islamic world, as well as on Sephardi and oriental Jewry.

This is so important, this knowledge needs to be spread far and wide.
