I wasn't trying to paint anything in any way. I just want to know if a Palestinian state, with like a powerful Hamas faction involved in their political structure (which it likely would be), could be trusted to respect Jewish rights in a Palestinian state.

There has never been a Palestinian state. The whole area has a ridiculously complex history with various tribes and peoples (not even to mention the whole #####e/Sunni divide) having control, losing control, and being forced out of their lands. Its hard to say who has the "right" to what land when you consider everyone has been taking lands from others for so long. (Not a statement in support of either side, just trying to clear up misinformation).
