This is Hamas reality regarding this conlfict:

""We succeeded, with Allah`s grace, to raise an ideological generation that loves death like our enemies love life. We will not abandon the way of Jihad and Shahada [Martyrdom] as long as one inch of our holy land is in the hands of the Jews.

"Congratulations to our people of 1948 [Israeli Arabs] on the liberation of Gaza. You wish to destroy them [the Israelis] from their interior. We will never forget you, and never leave you. A day will come when our flag will fly above all the quarters of our land. Our flag will fly on the minarets of Jerusalem, and the walls of Acre, and [in] the quarters of Haifa.""
[Raed Said Hussein Saad (Abu Muadh), Commander, North Gaza, Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas website, December 12, 2005]

You cannot negotiate with someone that refuses to negotiate with you and doesn`t recognise your existence.This is the reality which Israel must acknowledge and live with Fred.
