@J12t I mean, this is all anecdotal evidence. If you look at aggregated statistics on Palestinian sentiments, they're all trending towards radicalism and support for armed groups like Hamas. It's just a question of degrees. I cannot say there aren't any who believe in peaceful coexistence, but what we can say for sure is that the aggregate facts on the ground point towards a grim picture as far as relations with Hamas are concerned. I don't think it's fair to bet people's lives on anecdotes.
