    Did they not take away the Palestinian right to elections back in 2006?

    If you want to argue that Hamas has liberalized in the last 19 years, or even the last 6 months, by all means make that argument, but I am growing bored of the rhetoric I am currently being given.

      Which is why I asked about elections and opposition parties.

      If you want to argue that Hamas has liberalized in the last 19 years,

      No.

      or even the last 6 months,

      No.

      but I am growing bored of the rhetoric I am currently being given.

      You are being given no rhetoric. I was asking a question.
