Hamas is a dictatorship. They haven't had an election in two decades.

Yes, and the international community has been bankrolling it and actively supporting it.

Hamas is horrific and deserves nothing. The Palestinian people are indigenous to the region and want the right to autonomy and self-determination as a people. Both of those things are true. Which is one of the many reasons why this is so complicated. It doesn't become uncomplicated simply because of the depredations of Hamas.

Of course. However, Hamas needs to be ended as a governing entity *completely* before progress can be made and the Palestinians themselves need to start facing reality: Israel isn't going anywhere and if they want to live in peace and start to generate some prosperity, they're going to have to work for it.

That means ending the terrorism and ending the 'struggle'.
