A free Palestine with access to water, education, jobs, power and sea resources with a standing military would crush Hamas as we know it or force it to change. Israel do not want this it seems. Why else would they continue to bombs water wells, schools and power plants? I don't think Hamas is much of a factor here when there are far deeper more fundamental issues. When basic dignity and human rights are trashed as they are in Gaza which is continually referred to as the largest open air prison in the world, and where land is continually stolen in the West Bank, you are going to have a people who are going to turn to someone who can advocate for them in the strongest possible terms.
Even I, an educated person with full access to the Israeli narrative through my Israel-supporting government and the MSM are really skeptical that Israel want peace and a viable two-state solution (well skepticism is somewhat of an understatement since Netnyahu basically admitted as much). So how can i, we really expect the Palis to say "hey, we need to trust in peace and the Israelis."
Really the article is typical of Foxnews. Lazy, biased, simplistic and misleading.
