If Hamas would stop fighting Israel and the palestinians could end their feer 
of Israel and Jews, Israel would likely stop fighting.  They will always want 
to protect themselves.  Who wouldn't?  Sadly Hamas, Iran, and others have 
much more hate to fuel further conflicts.  Peace is all parties ending their 
hate and seeking a lasting end to conflicts.
