terrorist Hamas

To my eye, you're citing not disadvantages, but difficulties - there's no direct harm in any of them.

American view of Hamas and other groups in the neighborhood would generally follow Israeli position (and we can be forewarned by Israelis). But the beauty of the proposed approach is that such recognition have no bearing on whether to view Hamas as a terrorist organization; I'm NOT proposing recognition of Gaza statehood. (However even if it were, the difference would be merely between a terrorist organization that took over a territory, and a state sponsor of terrorism with an external arm; or as quasi-independent Gaza and terrorist Hamas etc.)

With that said, however, I generally take a view that a terrorist organization is a misnomer, it don't exist as such . Rather, political organization may use terrorist means at some stage. See earlier here; the evolution of Hamas in Gaza in the last 3 yrs confirm the point I was making in that comment.
