Best Answer

Yes. According to United States, European Union, Israel, and numerous impartial organizations, Hamas is a terrorist organization. There are others who critique that Hamas is more complex than just a terrorist organization.

What makes it less clear is that Hamas has social and political wings. These wings promote the same ideology of the organization but its members do not necessarily commit the violent actions that the militant wing does. However, those members condone and provide support to the militants.

No. Hamas is paramilitary, terrorist, welfare, and political organization. (It has several distinct wings.)While the Palestinian Authority has de jure authority over both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Hamas exerts de facto control in the Gaza Strip. This has led some Egyptian generals to call the Gaza Strip "Hamas-stan" since Hamas rules a strip of territory.

Why do Americans support the Irish Republican Army but don't support the IRA's pals Hamas or Hezbollah?

First, it is worth distinguishing the US government from the acts of independent American citizens. The US government has not supported the IRA in any serious capacity, but Irish Americans have. Additionally, the United States has listed the RIRA (the militant successor to the Provisional IRA in 1997) as a terrorist organization and has blacklisted them. Irish Americans supported the IRA for sectarian reasons, namely to free Ireland from British rule.In the case of Hamas and Hezbollah, there are far fewer Americans of Arab descent to support these organizations, but there is such support. This has ended up in a number of court cases concerning the money-trails that lead to these organizations, most notably the Holy Land Foundation Trials. The reason that the United States government goes after supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah is that both organizations are directly hostile to the United States.As a final note, Hamas and Hezbollah are not "pals" of the IRA. Not all paramilitary/terrorist groups have warm (or even extant relationships).
