I am making the point that the people that support Hamas are usually not supporting them out of fear, but because they actually support them. I'm sure the situation is much more complex than that but to say they rule by terror is completely false.

Technically it is democracy, just not peaceful and very far from ideal. I'm not trying to force an America reference, but the whole "you are with us or against us" is the exact same thing.

This is not just about Hamas.
I know it isn't but as long as they are the ruling party in Palestine, most of the focus will and should be on them.

When it comes down to it, the situation for Palestine is hopeless. As long as the conditions the Palestinians are in right now stay the same, it isn't going to get any better. They can't just pull themselves up because they physically can not be self-supportive and for them to unite is unrealistic as peace in inner city Baltimore.
