Isreal has recognized Palestinian rights of existance for quite some time. A big point of this is that they gave away Gaza to hold to their end of the peace agreement. The Israeli government exists to protect themselves as a result of the many wars others have declared on them in thier short history.
Hamas and the PLO (both Palestinian governmental parties) have NEVER swayed from their party platform of total destruction of Israel.
So why are you trying to paint them both with the same brush?
