It’s been 17 years since the last election. Assuming only 18 and up could vote, that means only people current around 34 and up could vote. So the bulk of Palestinians didn’t even have a chance to vote in that election. Not to mention that they were given the choice between a corrupt faction (Fatah) and a possible less corrupt faction (Hamas).
I am so afraid this message is getting lost. There has been a deliberate push to paint this latest incident to be the reason that neighborhoods had to be flattened and civilians slaughtered.
Hamas sucks, I wish they were never allowed to assume any power. But if Hamas doesn’t control the water, electricity, food, currency, internet, or borders in Gaza; who should the Palestinians revolt against?

why can’t they hold elections?

They can. They won’t.
Either they’re just undemocratic, or they know that the results of elections wouldn’t be what they want them to be.

Presumably because they are busy planning funerals for their children

By not actively revolting all of America was responsible for Abu Ghraib?

So you believe Hamas is the only problem here and once they are killed off the violence will stop and relations can be normalized?
Yep. Israel is just acting in self defense, as it always has done in the past.

You do know what a false dichotomy is, right?
Share with us which country you’re from, I’ll share with you what atrocities you have actively supported by not revolting against your government.
By not revolting against [Israel], they are actively supporting [their own containment and genocide].
You’re either with our against the terrorists. There’s no in-between
Which terrorists? The Israeli ones or the Palestinian ones?
