Hamas (Gaza, ep. 3)

Too many conversations about Gaza begin and end with one word: Hamas. And conversations about Hamas too often rely on reductive talking points. In this episode, producer Max Freedman speaks with Tareq Baconi, author of the new book "Hamas Contained: The Rise and Pacification of Palestinian Resistance." They discuss the origins of Hamas, its position in the Palestinian political landscape, and its governance of the Gaza Strip.
