Of course.

HAMAS has no sense of Hummus (Humor, you know) ;-)

Yes ...they are childhood sweethearts :)

Many of them do, but they have other issues at the moment. 1) "Hamas (ØÙ…اس ḤamÄs, an acronym of ØØ±ÙƒØ© المقاومة الاسلامية Ḥarakat al-MuqÄwamat al-IslÄmiyyah, meaning "Islamic Resistance Movement") is a Palestinian Sunni Islamist paramilitary organization and political party which holds a majority of seats in the elected legislative council of the Palestinian National Authority." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas 2) "Hummus (Arabic: ØÙ…ّص; also spelled hamos, houmous, hommos, hommus, hummos, hummous or humus; see romanization of Arabic) is a Levantine Arab dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. It is a popular food in various local forms throughout the Middle Eastern world." "The word comes from Arabic: ØÙ…ّصḥummuá¹£ 'chickpeas'. Like other Arabic loanwords, its spelling in English is unstable. The earliest known use of the word hummus in English, noted by the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), was in 1955. The three most common spellings for the word as transliterated into English are hummus, hommos and hoummos. The spelling humus is avoided in English due to its having the same spelling as another English word humus, though this is the most common Turkish spelling and the OED indicates the word entered the English language from Turkish. The full Arabic name of the prepared spread is ØÙÙ…Ùّص بطØÙŠÙ†Ø© (ḥummuá¹£ bi á¹aḥīna) which means chickpeas with tahina." "For Palestinians hummus has long been a staple food, garnished with olive oil and "nana" mint leaves, paprika, parsley or cumin. A related dish popular in the region of Palestine (including Jordan) is laban ma' hummus ("yogurt and chickpeas") which uses yogurt in the place of tahini and butter in the place of olive oil. The chickpeas are first boiled alone before the other ingredients are added and it is served hot." Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummus 3) "Then one of us mentioned Hamas, and the exchange that ensued went something like this: “Vait, vait. Vat’s zee connection between a political movement and food. Vy hummus?” We exchanged astonished glances. “Hamas,” we explained, “is a Palestinian Islamist political movement. Hummus is a food.” “Ya, but vy hummus? Yesterday I had to throw away my pita bread because it vas dripping hummus. Unt it’s too high in carbohydrates.” The Hamas-hummus confusion went on for several minutes. Then, the interviewer declared: “Your conflict is not so bad. Jennifer-Angelina is worse.” We probed our limited memory of Hollywood scandals: Was he comparing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to some sort of tension between Brad Pitt’s former and current wives? What was going on here? Should we pull off our microphones, get up and leave? We exchanged worried glances. “Could we take a break?” one of us asked meekly. The request was ignored. And so it went. The cameras kept rolling, the cameramen never cracking a smile. “Vy don’t you Jews and Arabs settle the conflict with a time share on the land?” “Ven vill you Jews return the pyramids?” “Vy can’t Jews and Hindus get along?” Jews and Hindus?"
