And the only way is to change th reality on t he ground. Hamas did not become government in Gaza accidentally - the Arabs that live there VOTED for them so they are as much to blame for this as the Hamas rulers. If Israel can collapse the government and the Palestinians have enough courage to act differently then there can begin to be some sort of non-violent situation. The question to ask is not whether those Palestinians that work together in situations with Israelis or recieve help are friendly, but whether they accept Israel's right to exist and are prepared to ACT accordingly - raising a government in their terroritory that will make a peaceful situation at the minimum with Israel. It is not unusual to find Palestinians that will act friendly but when questioned will state that they are against the Jewish state of Israel. Before things can be better, minds have to be changed.
