So they can do, well what? Channel negative energy towards Hamas so they will just go away?

Hamas does not exsist without the mistreatment of the palestinian people, without thier continued mistreatment palestinian people would over time come to accept israel is not the enemy. This does 2 things, 1) stops hamas recruiting new members (i don't think the ira really recruits many terrorists these days) 2) puts public pressure on hamas not to attack, and gives them no excuse to attack.
