    Has been for decades…

    It’s over 2 million in like 140 sq miles…

    They don’t have their own police, don’t get to vote (Israel won’t let them have an election), aren’t in control of their own utilities, don’t have freedom of movement, and get treated as subhuman.

    And Israel wants everyone to believe there’s no reason for Palestinians to hate Israel’s government.

    Put people in those conditions and refuse to treat them as humans, and some of them are going to stop acting like humans. It’s basically sociology and would happen to any population in those conditions

      Hamas is who does not allow further elections in Gaza.

      Following the Fatah–Hamas conflict that started in 2006, Hamas formed a government ruling the Gaza Strip without elections. Gazan Prime Minister Haniyye announced in September 2012 the formation of a second Hamas government, also without elections.
