Hamas is already feeling the heat of Palestinian civil society.

It claims to strive to increase participation of women in Palestinian society.

It is devoted to building a democratic Palestinian civil society.

The uprising, now in its second year, has changed Palestinian society.

He said the army was trying to persuade Palestinian society to turn against its terrorists.

But then it's so complicated because there is no tradition of democracy in the Palestinian society.

"Destroying Palestinian society is only going to create more suicide bombers."

"It will take a change in the makeup of Palestinian society," he said.

We also have to push for plurality in Palestinian society.

"The very fabric of Palestinian society is coming apart," he said.
