In the past, other countries have learned that. Until the people stop voting terrorists into power, dont expect much to change. Hamas gets what they want, which is a battle they always lose.
So be it. Comparing Israel to S.A. is ridiculous. The black South Africans were not terrorizing the entire nation for years on end. I'm sure there were acts here and there but nothing to speak of compared to what israel has put up with for 50 years. Isnt it funny how Egypt has had very little trouble with Israel after they signed their peace treaty in the 70s? Maybe the Palestinians will wise up and do the same. But I doubt it.
