Israel is playing you like a fiddle as well, but you don't care to see that side of the equation either. There are three sides here. Hamas, the state of Israel, and the innocent civilians - both Palestinian and Israelis caught in the middle. Hamas and the state of Israel are both the problem. Neither is going to change because they have power through the stances they take. They have a symbiotic relationship and rely on each other to maintain the power they project. That's the dirty secret here. Until both are eliminated from the equation peace is unlikely. Focus on the commonalities that bring people in the region together rather than amplifying the differences which divide people. This isn't tough until you inject the power dynamics into the mix. You can make the call whether that dynamic is political, religious, or ideological, but it is the power dynamic that needs to be broken to find peace. Treat all people the same and see peace break out across the region.
