Using America as a occam's razor. There is 4,019,433 Palestinians The top 2 political parties are the PLO and Hamas, they are very different, ironically just like Republicans and Democrats. Right now however Hamas has 67% popular support. So if we take 2/3rds of the population and divide it by 67% we should arrive at a number indicating how many Palestinians support Hamas.
2/3's = 2,679,622
67% = 1,795,347
So technically not all Palestinians but close to 2 million of the 4 million Palestinians.

America tried to get involved once It tried to force peace. 299 US and French servicemen (220 were US Marines) where killed by a suicide bomber. This lead to some really bad moves by the US Government, which caused Bin Laden to become a terrorist.
The bad move was a retaliatory carpet bombardment by the US battleship New Jersey, according to Arab sources thousands died from that.
Trust me in this war between Islam extremist and Israel there can only be looser. Because each side has the basic notion that if you hurt me I hurt you back seven times. At this point each side claims a vendetta in the millions.
