        no. over half the population are minors and there hasn’t been an election in over 2 decades.

          So who is HAMAS or PLO? Are the Palestinians not supporting them?

            they’re constructs of the Israeli government. what evidence do you have that they are supported by the Palestinian people at all?

              Yeah, this is pretty well researched. There are lots of polls conducted. I can link them. Hamas has broad support among Palestinians. It’s not news really.

        what leaders? israel controls all the borders and ports, and arrests people without citing laws passed by the palestinians. they are living in a ghetto in israel, not their own state.
