Large compared to the size of Hamas as a political organization, of course. What else could possibly make sense when deciding what to classify Hamas as?!
What is the total size of Hamas (by some definition)? What is the size of the Qassam Brigades (their military wing--yes the Qassam Brigades are part of Hamas)? How does this compare to the number of people with official duties as part of the Republican Party, and the number of people within that group who are part of the Republican Party's military wing?
