Let's not forget that Menachem Begin also had a terrorist background.
Sometimes people rise to the occasion -- if there's any occasion to rise
to. Israel has so destroyed the infrastructure and so chopped up the
territory and so prevents normal economic commerce that no government
could bring a semblance of normality. (Interesting that you mention
trains running on time -- everything runs when, and only when, the
Israelis let it run).

The problem here is that Hamas was elected by the people. Hamas -- heretofore a terrorist organization -- is now in charge. As the government (not a terrorist organization), they're in charge of making life and the economy work for the Palestinians. See that the roads are safe, that trains get there on time.But as a terrorist organization that's not their purpose.
