The most obvious sign of the renewed attraction of resistance is the strengthening of a rejectionist front built around the alliance between Iran and Syria.
One explanation of the rejectionist strategy is that human psychology is adapted for repeated interactions rather than one-off trades.
Regional stability could be jeopardised, with Russia backing the rejectionist Serbs and America and the European Union with varying degrees of enthusiasm supporting the Kosovars.
If the latest talks gain ground, Hamas may change its rejectionist tune.
