My unsolicited two cents: I think debate in this thread (and elsewhere) would be more productive and respectful if people distinguished between Israelis and the Israeli state (on the one hand) and Palestinians and Hamas/the Palestinian "state" (on the other hand). It is very difficult to generalize about Israelis and Palestinians. In both cases, I imagine (I'm hardly an expert) that there is a wide spectrum of opposition to and support of their respective "states".
