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).
By not actively revolting all of America was responsible for Abu Ghraib?
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?
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?
Which terrorists? The Israeli ones or the Palestinian ones?
