While I have little doubt that there are a disturbingly high proportion of palestinians who do think that way (relative to pretty much any other rival population around the world), the sad part about this whole conflict is that it's still likely a substantial minority of a population who would probably like nothing more than to get on with their lives. And therein, as they say, lies the rub.Hamas is the ruling government for Gaza. If the Palestinians don't like or want hamas, then they need to be helping Israel to take out hamas. Why all the protests from Palestinians against Israel and not against hamas? The reason is, because Palestinians want hamas to take out Israel and kill every Jew.
