I'm not endorsing either approach, personally.
On a side note...is Hamas as an organization willing to hold talks, and uphold agreements throughout its entire ranks, if those talks were to take place?

Will they talk? The propaganda has us buy into a story where the less well-dressed, darker skinned lot are a monolith of evil, devoid of any significant pragmatic wing. There are two kinds of extremists. Those that are pushed into that role from the lack of alternative means of survival, and those that have everything provided them, but still feel the need to whip themselves up into a frenzy of religious superiority. Which should you most fear? Which side of this conflict has more of the well fed/well dressed nut balls?
Will they commit? the propaganda has us buy into the story that agreements must be upheld through out Hamas' entire ranks before talks can be considered. There are criminals in every organization. Its a convenient ploy to continue pushing Israeli agenda at gun point because of how believable it is that some nob will still blow themselves up or launch a missle after a battery of negotiatons. Even though its just as believable that some nob will still blow themselves up or launch a rocket after a battery of bombings.
