This has little to do with religion, it is about something much more important in international relations...land. Palestinians owned the land of what is now Israel or most of it until between 1918-48 when they lost most of it and they have been very pissed off ever since, not without bloody good reason.
The problem is they have no recourse, they can't militarily take on Israel to get the land back but don't seem to move on and instead some seem intent on ignoring the realities of their situtation and not moving on to make some practical improvements. Hamas and the Palestinians need to move on for practical reasons even if they do have a right to be pissed off.
Of course the OP shouldn't have been posted on this board, you can't have a decent conservasation with Americans about IsraelI am an American, and a decent conversation is possible, if so desired..I am neither liberal nor conservative..., even the liberals have their mouths so far up its butt that it can basically do no wrong in their eyes. It is a very strange phenomenon that you just don't see here, even among the real rightwing, few high Tories are such groupies for Israel, in fact quite the opposite often, perhaps it has something do with their attachment to ancient landed wealth.
