The truth isn't Hasbara. The Hamas Charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the Palestinian Authority's president says the PA's sole financial obligation is keeping the Martyrs' Fund solvent. That's the fund that pays lifelong stipends to Palestinians (and/or their families) when those Palestinians answer the PA's call for violent resistance to the "Occupation." The size of the stipend depends on how many Israelis are killed (more carnage brings more reward). Very tempting for people trapped in areas with severely underdeveloped economies.
