Hamas will never not choose to sacrifice the Palestinian people and their future on the altar of Israel's destruction. If they were given a button that killed every last Israeli but at the cost of also killing every last Palestinian, Hamas would push that button. The Palestinian nation would be destroyed, but Zionism's success - and with it, as Hamas sees it, Islam's shameful weakness - would be wiped away as well. In Hamas's religious universe, it would be worth it. There is nothing anyone can do for Palestinians that Hamas won't undo.
