Mind-melting first sentence

From AFP:

As an uneasy truce with Israel takes hold, Hamas faces the twin pressures of protecting its status as a resistance movement without giving Israel an excuse for a new war. [...]

Lemme tell ya, you haven't experienced pressure until you've had to "face the twin pressures" of preserving your steadfast and vigilant reputation as a resistance movement on the verge of annihilating the Zionist usurper entity with a tidal wave of death while at the same time not reminding the Apartheid State that it was plotting more crafty aggression and conspiracy. Actually, it's not so hard. Hamas got to fire a laser-guided anti-tank missile at a school bus, and still much of this very article is about the up-coming truce.
