BBC reporter James Reynolds asks a Hamas candidate the $64,000 question:

“How can you be a democratic party on the one hand and an armed militia on the other hand. Surely it doesn’t mix ?” I ask Dr Aziz Salem Dwaik, who is one of the Hamas candidates in Hebron.

“It mixes all over the world because each and every country has its army and our resistance movement is our army fighting for the cause of our people.”

Notwithstanding Dwaik’s unsatisfying reply, why haven’t more reporters asked Hamas candidates the same question point blank?
