Most Fatah supporters are terrified of their Iranian-backed bretheren, and quietly hope the Israelis destroy Hamas.

Bingo. Fatah can’t wait to get rid of Hamas. They took their power, and are making it hard for the Palestinians to make any gains. Plus there were all those killings and infighting between Fatah and Hamas.
Crush them Israel, and strip Gaza bare of every weapon they have, and then block them up from any other trade. Israel can control humanitarian aid and legitimate commerce just fine.

Yep. Not that Fatah wouldn’t like to see both sides damaged. But political control means payola and they miss it.

Because no one is paying the leaders of Fatah enough to make them induce their followers to commit suicide?

Fatah hates Hamas. Israel hates Hamas. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is an Arab proverb....

(I’m not saying Fatah and Israel are friends, I’m saying that Fatah supporters will be pleased if Hamas is destroyed, no matter who does it)

Although they may be united politically, the Palestinians in each area have always had different traditions and attitudes.

And yet the foreign policy einsteins insist on cobbling them together in some sort of weird consortium of a two-piece sovereign state.

It seems obvious: there is no reason for Gaza to exist as a separate territory. The inhabitants need to be relocated to Jordan and/or Egypt and the miserable Strip annexed by Israel. If they ever do recognize Israel they can have some of the WestBank and some of the rest of Jordan.
