I did not say that status qou shud continue, but, I did tell you that Palestinians really have no choice. You or anyone who beleives that if there is no hamas Palestinians will get a state is a fool.
West Bank has no hamas, yet most of settlement activity has happened in West Bank. 42% of west bank is controlled by Israel according to Israels own sources. So tell me what has peaceful means brought Palestinians?
As I said, Palestinians atleast for now seem to have only two choices, either fight and get killed quickly, or be peaceful and get evicted slowly. And yes I agree that hamas staretegy has not brought them any relief either.
