And yet neither could exist without the others, and all three are effectively governed by dudes like Ismail Haniyya relaxing safely in Qatar.

Furthermore: there haven't been elections since 2006 - there are people at fighting age in the entirety of Palestinian Territories who have never seen a voting booth in their life.

After the elections in 2006, which were not permitted again by Israel, Hamas said they would accept a two state settlement. They have reiterated this many times, and still stand by that, so there's absolutely an opportunity to negotiate with Hamas.

What two-state settlement are you talking about? Seriously? Hamas is one of the biggest "from the river to the sea" apologists... How deep do you have to stick your head in the sand not to notice that.

I mean, there are many things that could be done to help Palestinians to live a better life. Supporting Hamas is definitely not one of those, not by a large margin.
