Elina,
Sometimes I wonder if the Israeli society in general is connected to a central electronic brain that got froze on the word terrorism. Unable to look beyond that, the Israeli government adopted the ''repeat it, somebody might believe'' principle.
In the end of the day what matters the most is how Palestinians actually view Hamas and the other factions. May I remind you that Hamas is a natural output of the Israeli occupation?! You might not agree on their methods and approach, but in the eyes of every Palestinian Hamas is a fully legitimate anti-occupation movement. Same as was PLO and Fatah - which by the way were and occasionally - up to Israel's liking - still are a bunch of terrorists. For Israel, to simply resist turns you into a terrorist.
If you have any other options for Palestinians to rid themselves of the occupation, I am all ears. the 20+ years fruitless peace process doesn't qualify as a solution.
