A good analogy is the occupation of france by germany in ww2.
Initially france with split into two zones, a german occupied zone and a collaborationist Vichy regime.
The problem with Hamas for the zionist settler project was that it would not be collaborators like the PLA, and
only took up the complete struggle after Baruch Goldstein went on a murderous rampage
"Hamas first began suicide attacks specifically targeting civilians in response to the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre carried out by the American-Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein, who on 25 February 1994, during Ramadan, killed 29 unarmed civilians by throwing hand grenades and firing at a group of worshippers during prayer at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron.[150][151] There was a strong sense that the Israeli military was complicit in the massacre because Goldstein wore military fatigues during his attack and carried an assault rifle issued by the IDF, the nearby IDF forces failed to intervene to stop the attack, and indeed an additional 19 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in the riots that ensued in protest of the massacre.[151] Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin condemned the massacre, but refused to withdraw Jewish settlers from Hebron, fearing a violent confrontation with the settler community.[121] Hamas announced that if Israel did not discriminate between "fighters and civilians", then it would be "forced ... to treat the Zionists in the same manner. Treating like with like is a universal principle."[152]

Needless to say, this terrorist is adored by the zionist fanatics.
Hamas are no angels, but when it comes to mass killings, they have to take a back seat to the IDF.
