If I were a peace-loving nation who minded my own business, no I certainly would not want that living next to me. But if I were a de facto theocracy wherein a large chunk of my electorate were religious zealots who believed a disputed part of land is promised to me by god, then yes, I think Hamas would be exactly the kind of enemy I'd want.
Israel has a very big Palestinian problem. It can't very well kill all the Arabs who live in the WB but it can't annex the land without committing demographic suicide. A 2 state solution would anger the religious and right-wingers who believe the land should stay with Israel, so there is no way out but to continue the status quo.
Is there really any reason to demolish solar plants donated by Europeans? Or schools a week before classes are about to start? Serious questions.
They need Hamas. They need that enemy so they can continue flattening Palestnian homes and building Jewish settlements on them.
You and everyone else who 'supports' such a theocracy should really questions these actions.
Stealing land has nothing to do with Hamas.
Obviously we agree here. I wonder how many supporters of Hamas like the way they treat women and gays?
Having a friendly & powerful liberal democracy in a very strategically important part of the world is overall a good thing.
However, we've turned a blind eye to some of their illegal behaviour & that's caused the West to lose more legitimacy among other ME countries & peoples which has caused problems for us too, including helping to radicalize terrorists.
I think we have to turn a blind eye towards some imperfections. In much of the world being perfect equals being dead.
