@BigSkyRider @tolawson you're glossing over the dynamics which contributed to the creation of Hamas.
It's an almost implicit acknowledgement that the secular PLO was nigh undefeatable.
It also perpetuates the cycle of violence through indoctrination.
As a bonus, exposes schism within the Muslim world.
Without those factors, arguably all of them, and more, there'd be no Hamas. It's not just convenience which led to its creation.
Now, the question is: what next?
