Ghazi Hamad, of terror group's politburo, hails the major assault in which civilians were systematically murdered, saying 'there will be a second, a third, a fourth'
Almost 20 years ago, when the majority of Palestinians alive today were either too young to vote or hadn’t even been born. How long after an election do you assume elected leaders have any real mandate?
My point was that regardless of their ability to do it, they were at one time the elected officials of the geographic location known as Gaza. They’re obviously not a real government in policy and action, but they’re the only thing that exists to even bear the term or concept of governance in the area.
There is no other group to be considered as the government, no matter how awful Hamas is at being a government of any variety.
At one time, yes, but I don’t think we should be holding the Palestinians today to that. That would be like the Dubya era. If he had kept office until now, he would certainly not represent the opinion of Americans.
Hamas is embedded like a parasite, but there’s better ways to point this out.
Didn’t the Palestinian people vote them in?

How long before you expect a population to be responsible for their country?
I don’t blame North Koreans for being in a dictatorship, why would I blame Palestinians?
When their “leaders” don’t represent them? Never. Same reason I don’t hate on Israelis.

Well that would result in them having overwhelming support, among the survivors that is.
Yes, democracy exists until we don’t like it

Venezuela for starters
Venezuela is literally in the middle of an election year.
