I don't think there is many people who support hamas. ISIS needed to be cut down when they went on their rampage but let's not pretend they weren't created by the result of the US occupation.

Yep. Netanyahu publicly supported Hamas for just this reason - he knew they'd eventually provide justification to invade Gaza.

He and far too many Israelis don't want to work with the Palestinians to find a solution. The same can be said for the Palestinians.

Too many people in power who just want more of it.

Support? Nah, that's rare to the point of non-existence. I completely agree with your second sentence and I think people who are not willing to make the concession from the first half because of the second, substituting Hamas for ISIS, are doing themselves and Palestinians a massive disservice. Explanations are not excuses, and the behavior of both Israel and Hamas in the modern era cannot be excused.
