Learning Something New Every Day

"Hamas" in Hebrew means, "to do violence, wrong, cruelty, injustice."

I wonder if Hamas deliberately chose that name. Or does "Hamas" mean the same thing in Arabic?

"Hamas" means "zeal" in Arabic.

Which only further highlights the conflict between Jacob and Esau.

Thanks Jack

Ain't it strange learning the fact that they use this word knowing the meaning of the same themselves. Perhaps, they use it as a synonym of 'revenge'... it's almost like they're saying "we're returning you back what you've given us so long".... pretending that we're choosing a higher life by slaughtering evil roaches, I'm sorry to say, does not make my Christian brethrens any more holy than them.
