The political expropriation of the people of Gaza by Hamas comes not from ancient tradition, but from a swing to the right in recent decades. Israeli politics has swung to the right since the assassination (by a right-wing chauvinist) in 1995 of Yitzhak Rabin, a former nationalist hardliner who had been negotiating with the Palestinians, and even more so since the collapse of serious negotiations in 2001. Palestinian politics has swung to the right, too, with the two swings forming a vicious spiral.
