Does Hamas want peace, or are they willing to have people die in order to make political hay? Why do they try to get people to NOT evacuate when Israel warns them where the next bomb is coming? I don't hate the Arabs in Gaza, but they sure did pick one peach of a government, didn't they?

The Palestinians are a defeated people, that have no air force, no navy, no army. The Arab governments, right wing dictatorships, mouth slogans of support but our loyal to their US paymasters.
The Palestinians fighting are like the Jews in the Warsaw uprising, out gunned. They were also call terrorists.
Israel has the military and political power to do what it wants.
Two state solution, Just do it, hand the land back.
One state solution - end apartheid - make all equal citizens
Israel holds all the cards, but instead the settlements continue, the "Road Map" leads to nowhere, and the killing of Palestinians continues.
To tell the people without power that it is all their fault is the criminal blaming the victim.
I am not a supporter of Hamas, but I remember well how Israel nurtured the Islamic militants, how they did everything to destroy the secular PLO.
Conflict resolution is very easy, you stop demonising and killing your enemy and start talking to them and compromising with them. As you say if Israel can live with an Arab minority it should be possible to live with a Arab partner.
Just like the demonstrations against the Israeli actions have united Muslim Jew and atheist .
