I spoke to some Palestinians from Gaza just Sunday who really didn't think the support for Hamas was very high. Just no other options for them at the moment there, and no ability to confront. They did say that their family is very opposed to the rockets being launched as the inevitable repercussions are well known to everyone in Gaza.
In this case, I think Israel would have a tougher time with its right-wing then Palestinians in the event of a one-state style solution. The riots over like 2500 settlers being removed from Gaza were pretty frightening.
