But it is possible that Hamas would have had to shift. Once they come into power, they are no longer the underdog and have to meet many responsibilities, in theory. As such, it would be very difficult to perform the duties of governance while espousing and executing their "mission statement". Not being a traditional "legitimate power or government" allows Hamas the freedom to act however they want. So once coming into power, it is possible they would have become responsible and maybe even civil. Because if they were democratically elected, then they should then, respond the the democratic mechanisms. Unless they decide to dissolve democracy and turn the polity into a theocracy or dictatorship or some sort of rogue governance undeterred by cut off in funds from the world because they could be backed by Iran.
That's one possibility or one way to look at it. The problem is, there isn't a real way to test these theories or hypotheses.
