Except Hamas hasn't taken root, most Palestinians would much prefer to live in peace with their neighbors and vice versa.
They are a terrorist faction that has taken over the governance of a country much in the way that, say, Idi Amin did or the way the Taliban is now doing. I wouldn't argue with you if you put Bibi in that category, too. Hamas hasn't allowed elections since about 2007 and doesn't represent the will of the people. To me, they seem as happy causing death of Palestinians who disagree with them as they do of Israelis.
Sharon in 1973? Wasn't the US in the midst of trying to pacify Vietnam about then? I don't think Americans, or anyone, should be held accountable for some irresponsible, ghastly, things that their leaders said 50 years ago.
"Hamas security forces have also used violence against known Fatah members, especially those who had worked in the Fatah-run security services of the Palestinian Authority (PA)." - Human Rights Watch
