Like I said before, I won't pretend to know how or why Hamas governs and I don't know that "hardcore Islam hates Jews" either, because I don't know any hardcore Islamists. What I DO know though, is Palestinians have a right to support and/or choose whomever they wish to represent them -- as do the Israelis. But it sure doesn't LOOK like what's been going on for over 75 years has been something "we all want" -- certainly not to the Palestinians, and certainly not to me.
