I think it is important to draw the distinction between Hamas, which is at least a heavily Iran supported organization, and the Palestinians, who are another one of the victimized peoples caught in the middle.
The Palestinian Authority is secular and was a partner in the Oslo Accords and peace process. Where did that get the Palestinians? Nowhere.
The Palestinians secular or otherwise, cannot meet people half way who don't want to meet them at all. The Israeli right which has dominated politics since the assassination of Rabin in 1995 -assassinated because of the peace with Palestinians- has zero desire to recognize any Palestinian state on any part of Palestine.
