| Description | Hamas is portrayed as the 'other,' 'traditional,' 'backward' and the 'out of touch' with the modern world. This portrait of Hamas is not politically innocent and if not outright racism that should not blind us from understanding the growing power of Islamists in the Middle East in general and in Palestine in particular. Through struggle, women's purity once again becomes a keystone of the ethos of suffering, sacrifice, and noble conflict: women's immodesty dishonours the memory of the martyrs: women's preoccupation with trivia and fashion at a time of sacrifice and struggle is an insult to the fighters for liberation: and women’s immodest dress and conduct unwittingly aids the enemy in its designs to corrupt the nation. Islamists also rail against the ethos spread by the work of women NGOs, which entails extravagant advertisements, conferences, high salaries, and donor funds (that is, profits) instead of sacrifice and suffering, while the occupation rages on unabated. |
