But why provoke the big kid? That's war. Hamas doesn't use terrorist tactics For The Evulz, it's just asymmetric warfare. Which isn't to say i condone what they're doing at all, but Hamas is of the opinion that Israel's existence is non-negotiable (and given Israel's refusal to really bargain with Fatah no matter how many times Fatah doubles down, Hamas may be right in their own twisted way), and obviously they can't fight the military force that could tear Syria and Egypt to shreds conventionally, so you fight asymmetrically: terrorism

 

As far as I know (which maybe means nothing at all).

Fatah still does not recognize Israel as a legitimae, Jewish state, and it is one of the main reasons that the negotiatons don't go anywhere.

And I do realize that the Israeli government is also at fault for the slow proccess.

All i'm really saying is that the conditions are the ripest they've been in a long time right now. Whatever Fatah's stance on Israel's right to exist may be, they are making concessions on matters like the Settlers to try and get a deal going, and are doing a very good job of keeping things internally stable on their side of the line, and if Israel doesn't act, it's just going to lead to a further resurgence of Hamas if the Palestinians get the idea into their head that Israel can't be negotiated with
