Sorry, I will highlight the important bit

Removed from power through legal means, by the people they state they represent. Removing either group with violence will beget more violence. A new entity with the same ideology will fill the gap.

Hamas as an organization has its own problems, and they share a lot of the same issues as Likud. They both hold on to power through violence and fear.

Oh yeah Hamas definitely has a lot of problems, and while I don't know a lot about Gaza's internal affairs they're probably not the people who should be ruling Gaza after the conflict ends. That said, one of the things they do right is following ceasefire agreements until it's obvious Israel has no intention of doing the same (2008 and 2012 come to mind).
