Hamas is very much to blame.

Oh, I guess I was wrong then. By less hardline, do you mean like, for instance, the wall? The incereased amount of settlers on the vestbank? More checkpoints? Less financial aid? More roadblocks, demolition of houses, incereased military presence and so on?
I guess the second intifada was started beacause the palestinians was bored
I'm not saying Hamas is cool. But they are at least not corrupt. And negotiation when one side holds all the cards is not really a negotiation, more like extortion.
