Not all Palestians are Hamas.
Also Hamas were originally a resistant movement and weren't formed as a terrorist group. They were founded to liberate Palestine and establish Arab states. They later were willing to collaborate with Israel to end the feud. The brutal clash was a response of the accused attempt to assassinate their prime minister. Not only did they launch rockets to the Israeli post, but also to the Egyptian post as well. It was about the borders, not just to kill Israelis. Later the Israelis closed borders to deny aid, which is when they managed smuggling money to finance schools and hospitals. Can you see how it's a continual struggle?

Oh they do care, they've lost so much prestige over the years after finishing second best to the Isrealis in military conflicts, the only difference now is that Iran would need to be the main organizer of anti-Isreali forces, as the other major powers in Egypt won't provoke another war (they would if they could) and Syria is engaged in its own domestic war and Iraq won't work with Iran.

Unless you have evidence, there isn't any sign or alert to present scheming. Most of them haven't lifted a finger nor do they have to collaborate with each other to send aid to Palestine on their own.

Hamas know that their only chance of success is to provoke this into a much wider conflict, that is how an underdog seeks to win, history is littered with such examples.

Again, I don't agree with the war in general. My original point was the Israelis aren't the only ones here who had a right to retaliate. They've caused a fair share of bull**** as well.
