Massive support for various terrorist groups, one of them reaching 74%

Firstly, they've not been asked whether they support them. If you're going to link surveys, maybe don't actively misrepresent what they say.

The very same link also shows 70% want the PA to take over power in Gaza. Some "support".

50% of the population don’t want peace with Israel.

An occupied population has a legal right under international law to engage in armed resistance against their occupier, so why is this surprising? A brutally oppressive apartheid state engaged in extensive war crimes and crimes against humanity does not have a right to an expectation that the other side want peace when they continue that oppression.

If Israel shows that it is willing to take Palestinian concerns seriously and Palestinians still don't want peace, then you'd have an argument. As it is, it's grossly unjustified to demand of the Palestinian population that they should be ready to surrender.
