I empathize with Hamas, but their strategy is really bad, and the PA probably could have negotiated the right to at least some form of Palestinian state by now if Hamas didn't continue its armed campaign.

Honestly, the Jews used religion as an excuse to rule over their lesser citizens.
What would beome of those currently living in Israel?

Palestine has no potential as long as it chooses to remain backwards.

People voted in Hamas, so that's their fault. However, Isreal does not treat the Palestinians with respect. Maybe if the nation didn't block the territory, maybe their is a chance to stop the unneeded suffering.

Well, they would most likely not listen. However, the non-western powers of the world could help in Palestine's efforts and goals.

1. It's not an assumption. Middle Eastern militaries are a joke and only pose significant threats to each other, while Israel has successfully defended itself without aid in the past.
2. What other factor would anti-gay laws be based on in a Muslim nation?
3. Saudi Arabia does not deserve US support, and I criticize those who tolerate it.

One of those sentences answers why the other is a thing.
And the blockade exists to keep resources out of the hands of militants like Hamas, militarily it's a sound decision.

Are we really going to pretend that pre-Hamas Israel was overflowing with respect for Palestinians?

Isreal own existence threatens the Levant. Isreal has only started to turn the holy land into a ethno-state through force resettlement.

Still, Hamas is actively harmful to the Palestinian cause, because of Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and the PLO have no ability to give Israel security guarantees in-exchange for concessions.
Like, what good would the PLO's agreeing to peace (which they already have) be if they can't stop Hamas from attacking Israel? Egypt is acting in the Palestinian's interest by trying to influence the people of Gaza to bring Fatah back to power so that the peace process can move forward. That said, I think Israel could also help in this goal if they give more concessions to the PA as a reward for its cooperation, which would make Hamas look less legitimate (after all, Hamas gets its legitimacy from its supposed ability to get concessions from Israel, which it hasn't gotten).

If we had to mention every single atrocity committed by a Middle Eastern ethnic group ever, then nobody would deserve a state.
