Funny, the "palestinians" and Israeli arabs I met were more interested in living in peace than worrying about Israel existing or not.

Talking of Hamas, I seem to recal many in the Gaza strip were rather upset at Hamas' actions, due to the obvious repercussions and extended harship, I mean, you may think it's great that a totalitarian group has seized power and evicted/beaten/murdered elected members of Fatah, but from what I've heard people on the ground aren't too happy about it.
Problem is with a group like Hamas running things, much like with Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy, oh and lets not forget your pal Saddam when he was running Iraq, speaking out in protest normally results in censorship with extreme prejudice.
