They have certainly NOT demonstrated anywhere near close to a commitment to peace. Every peace overture by the Israelis to the Palestinians has been rejected or broken.
Many of the Palestinian people may want peace but their leadership is pretty bad. They don't listen to their people at all. They only want power. Their religious ideology is false, just an excuse to further their own agenda.
This civil war is terrible. Hamas firing on unarmed people pleading with them to stop fighting. That's some Muslim brotherhood. The Palestinan people have been failed by their own leaders.
I think the average Palestinian probably doesn't care a whole lot about the politics. But rather, is far more concerned with stability, security and a livlihood. They want to work, raise their families and live their lives. Unfortunately, some of their compatriots have ignored them and decided to spoil things by attacking Israel, inviting retaliation.
And so it goes.....
