I believe that Hamas retaliated against the Israelis in a tortuous and brutal way

This would be nice but based on every single peace for land offering (Palestinian Statehood) to the palestinians being denied (and answered with more war, terror and desire to eliminate Israel entirely) its not likely that would happen. Arabs make up 20% of the Israeli population, vote in elections are members in the Knesset (Israeli Parliament) and there are even Arab/Muslim Supreme Court Justices in Israel, How many Jews/Israelis hold similar status in Arab lands? Zero.
