You are right if we are defining Hamas as the movement that existed over 20 years ago. The PLO was the leading resistance movement for over 20 years and now they are seen as "being in bed" with Israel by many of the hardliners.
Corruption will overcome Hamas in time and as I said earlier, they are dependent on the population around them. Eitherway, Hamas is reactionary and easily replaceable. I would be more scared of what comes after Hamas (another party or evolved group) then what it is now.
