Sir, I reiterate that it's obvious that the main hater in this thread is you, TAE.
Your statement about everyone in Palestine living together in a single, secular and pluralistic country could happen, of course, if the 1) Palestine is granted statehood and 2) If they allow their people to live in freedom and under secular rule.
I am not opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state. I am opposed to Hamas.

Hamas is the dominant movement by default because the PLO has sold out to the US in exchange for their leaders being given US-provided Swiss bank accounts.
Hamas is today what the PLO was in the 1970s - an expression of the desperation and rage of people made hopeless.*
*sort of like the Israelis were in the 1940s before independence.
