Hamas and Fatah are Arab Muslim Terrorist and Paramilitary Organizations that are both primarily concerned with the "Liberation of Palestine from Zionist Occupation". Fatah has taken a more politically moderate tone and its leaders argue that they only seek independence for the Palestinian Territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip whereas Hamas takes the same tone that Fatah took until 1993, which is that all of Israel must be erased and a single Palestinian state must be corrected.
General Characteristics
The most common and identifiable Muslim terrorist action, in both Hamas and Fatah, is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself. Fatah and Hamas both tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Some "moderate" non-associated clerics have defended these activities claiming that the civilians represent part of the group that "is opposed to Islam". Since "Palestine" is a country with a weak internal support structure, in many cases Hamas and Fatah will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Muslim terrorist organizations like Hamas and Fatah have actively engaged in Palestinian elections with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hamas and Fatah, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank in 2007.

What is the basic difference between Hamas leaded by Haniya and Fatah leaded by ABBAs?
Both Hamas and Fatah share the same goal which is the final and complete destruction of israel. But while Hamas makes its stake exclusively on hte armked struggle, Fatah proposes to combine the armed struggle with the ideological one. In 2009 in Bethlehem, some 2,000 Fatah members were taking part in the first Fatah conference in 20 years. The very first sentence of the opening speech honored the "shahids" who killed themselves fighting Jews. "In the name of the shahids and in the name of Jerusalem, the capital of the Palestinian state, we declare the opening of the sixth convention of our movement, Fatah." With these words, convention chairman Ahmed Qurei (Abu Ala) - a former Palestinian Authority prime minister and speaker of the PA legislature - introduced the politically-charged gathering Shahids literally means "martyrs," and the reference is to those who killed themselves or were killed in their attacks on civilian Israelis . Photos of "fighters against Israel", including a young boy holding a rifle, dot the walls of the Bethlehem hotel hosting the convention. The official Fatah symbol includes a map of ALL OF ISRAEL - not just Judea and Samaria - on the backdrop of a rifle and sword - thus making Fatah indistinguishable from Hamas in their ultimate goals to replace all of Israel. The convention was called in order to formulate the Fatah ideological platform and determine the leadership of Fatah and the Palestinian Authority for the coming years. PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) was seeking to retain power for himself and the "old guard," in the face of a challenge from convicted terrorist Marwan Barghouti and the younger generation. Barghouti is serving five life sentences in Israel for authorizing and organizing the murder of five Israelis in three separate attacks; he was acquitted "for lack of evidence" of murdering nine others and taking part in 33 other attacks. Barghouti once summed up his approach to Israel and peace in the Middle East by saying, "After we attain a Palestinian state [in Judea and Samaria], there will be greater things for which to strive... THERE IS NO ROOM FOR MORE THAN ONE STATE BETWEEN THE JORDAN AND THE MEDITERRANEAN" The convention included a clause in its platform negating the recognition of Israel as the Jewish State, and calling for "struggle using all means." The conference made it clear that all Leftist /Liberals tales about how Arabs want peace, how they dream about the peaceful co-existance with Israel, and how they want only a part of Palestine are a lie. Arabs want all Palestine, they are not going to agree to a part, and there is no place for Israel there. So, the difference between Abbas and Hamas is mainly in spelling.

All three of these groups are Jihadist terrorist organizations with a number of discernible characteristics. The most common and identifiable Muslim terrorist action is the suicide bomber who blows himself up to take out some enemies as well as himself. Muslim terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is part of the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided. Therefore, Muslim terrorist organizations will identify what sect of Islam they belong to and whether or not they oppose the other sects. Most Muslim terrorists wish to inspire fear in their enemies and therefore primarily attack civilians, considering them part of the enemy. Some "moderate" non-associated clerics have defended these activities claiming that the civilians represent part of the group that "is opposed to Islam". Since Muslim terrorists exist in countries with a weak internal support structure, in many cases such as with Hezbollah, Hamas, or Fatah, they will use their own funds to build schools, parks, hospitals, and other social services in the communities they occupy. It provides goodwill with the local inhabitants and allows them to more effectively spread whatever messages they may wish to say. Finally, Muslim terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Fatah have all actively engaged in elections (Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Fatah in Palestine) with their own political parties. If the governments formed after these elections were not desirable to these parties, they engaged in military actions to force the national government to capitulate to their desires. In the case of Hezbollah this created a violent stand-off in Beirut and in the case of Hamas and Fatah, this prompted a Palestinian Civil War in Gaza and the West Bank.
