Are you asserting that Hamas appeared in Israel from thin air to commit these crimes?
Edit:
But in seriousness, the reason Abbas is so unpopular is because Israel has refused to come to the bargaining table in good faith. The Palestinians view that Israel will not agree to terms peacefully.
The Palestinian Authority have tried to negotiate with Israel, and while Oslo would have been a path to peace, the Israelis didn’t want it - you had Israelis massacre civilians in Hebron and then killing their own Prime Minister.
When Camp David happened in 2000, the Israelis brought a proposal that was interpreted as a slap in the face for many Palestinians.
Hamas appeared to commit genocide, to destroy Israel and kill the Jews. You should read their founding document. I have. Here’s an atlantic piece that’s a decent critique of it as well:
As for the Oslo Accords, Arafat walked away and refused everything, I’m not sure what myths you’ve been reading about it. Palestinians have rejected two-state 5 times, including Abbas in 2008.
At one point Israel agreed to 80% of Palestine mandate to be the Palestinian Arabs and 20% the Palestinian Jews, but in reality they were sure they could just genocide or deport all the jews so even that wasn’t enough.
