That is a ludicrous statement, thats like saying the Americans on board the planes that crashed into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon are equally responcable for 9/11 as the terrorist who committed the atrocity. What means do the Palestinian people have to revolt against an elected part of their government?
How? Hamas is the armed orginization in Palestine, the Palestinian civilians would get slaughtered.

The peoples power extends far beyond armed revolution, especially in countries with elections. They have economic, political (as long as they can vote in reasonably fair elections) and social power.
Economic- even if you are unemployed you have hours in a day to spend outside of scavenging for existence. Here you could make signs (and do much more). I don't know the conditions there but a kid with a spray can can make a point most places.
Social- when people in Gaza sit in a blacked out room with candles so foreign photographers can picture the "effects" of Israeli blackouts their friends can be verbally kicking their butts (and, points up to the posters on youtube who did that).
political- there's an election coming there, I believe there are organizations looking for watchers, there are certainly opportunities for people on the scene to walk around and talk to their friends about the cost of the last election.
My point here is not these three examples, they're only examples. But people have ways to effect power, even in Gaza, even without using force.
