That's why it'd be a lot easier for Palestinians to get rid of Hamas instead of Israel. The Palestinians know which families are Hamas because they live in the same communities and know the factions. This conflict ends when the Palestinians decide that they've had enough of their militant overlords and start killing them off instead of licking their boots (or sandals).

How strongly is the general Palestinian population bound to Hamas by a shared hatred of the Jews? It might take a truly existential threat to break that. By which I mean mass, mass casualties.
"agreed..but i cant see Palestinians wishing this whilst dodging israeli bombs."
I could have said the same thing about the Iraqi Sunni turning on AQI while in the middle of a Sunni-Shia civil war and an active insurgency against the US military and Iraqi government, but they did, and it ended both the Sunni-Shia civil war and the insurgency campaign against the US & Iraqi government. Shit is possible, it just takes a real breaking point and a willing partner to help get the counter-Hamas insurgency off the ground (funding and arms from the Israeli government to anti-Hamas Palestinians groups in Gaza willing to negotiate a 2-state solution with the Israeli gov once Hamas is gone).
