There are also Palestinian Arabs that remember the massacre of Jews in Hebron 1929 and support the killing Jews even now such as this 92 year old woman:
That kinda jibes with tales my father brought back from WWII and fighting in N.Africa. to get new kit for his tank crews all he had to do was tell his crews to leave their socks with holes in them and worn out boots on the outside of their tanks for one night et-voila next day they'd have to be issued new gear or go into action in bare feet.
Posting pickets was necessary to make sure you woke up alive and it was not the Germans or Italians being their primary concern.
The only really effective deterrent to this behaviour was to send a group of Ghurkas into their known camp locations at night to bring back whatever they could identify as having belonged to soldiers previously found with their throats slit. After a couple of visits by those little guys the Arabs left the troops alone.
Their reputation for thievery and back-stabbing is quite honestly come by.
Considering the ample proof of Hamas military operations with these hospitals and refugee shelters, their is no dispute. Even the abating and aiding terrorist organization UNRWA has confirmed of its hostilities and check points with in these institutions. But the question remains, how do we know an Israeli projectile hit one of these buildings and not a failed Hamas rocket friendly fire? Your aware they booby trapped one of these infrastructures that killed two IDF soldiers right?
It seems that there are enough open space areas in Gaza that Hamas could have used to launch its rocket instead doing among its own population should Hamas wanted to protect the Gazan people instead of committing war crimes against its own people.
Hamas plays a much larger role in Palestinian politics than ultra-conservative Zionists who believe Israel should span from "the Nile to the Euphrates" play a role in Israeli politics.
Also, a majority of the Palestinian population are descended from Levantine Arabs who emigrated to the area around the same time as the first Jewish settlers in the late 1800s. If you want to be really technical, the Jews were there before the Arabs, but the Romans, the Muslim conquests, and the Crusades kinda put an end to that.
And Hamas does object to Jews. They have openly stated that they consider all Jews the enemy. Hamas also teaches Holocaust Denial and that Jews run all the banks in the world in the schools it oversees. The Hamas charter claims that the Lions Club, the Freemasons, and the Rotary Club are all part of a massive Jewish conspiracy to control the world. Hamas is f--king crazy and dangerous.

As to your last line, yes I'm sure that if there were no religions, everybody would be singing Kumbaya in the Middle East (and almost everywhere else for that matter). Why stop there? If everyone were one color, spoke one language, and had one set of beliefs, we'd have complete world peace.
Sorry guys...
I meant Fatah NOT Hamas!

So therefore, all Arabs are thieves...
Well what about Caucasians with respect to colonialism, slavery, and imperialism.

“Over the past week the hashtag #GazaUnderAttack has been used hundreds of thousands of times, often to distribute pictures claiming to show the effects of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza,” the BBC wrote. “A #BBCtrending investigation has found that many of these images are not from the latest conflict and not even from Gaza. Some date as far back as 2009 and others are from conflicts in Syria and Iraq.”

Well duh. I've known this all along. I have a browser plug-in that does a google image search, which I always do on news reports images when I'm suspicious.
The most egregious case was an image I spotted in the news a couple of weeks ago of a young Israeli boy being dragged out of a settlement by Israeli police which was actually taken back in 2005 when Israel pulled out of Gaza completely. The caption read, "Israeli Soldiers Kidnapping a Palestinian Boy".
