The refusal to recognize Israel and deal with reality is Hamas' choice, and it is the basic driver of the conflict, and has been since all the Arab states refused to recognize Israel in 1948.

That's a silly point to start with as the driver of the conflict. The creation of the state of Israel is the driver of the conflict. The Pals refusal to give up the war is what perpetuates the conflict, but it certainly didn't start it - Israel's decision that certain land (where loads of non-Jews lived) is now a Jewish homeland is the start of the conflict. The Pals ongoing resistance is a reaction to that, not a beginning of something.
