- tguvot 1y agoPA is the one that postpones elections, as polls over the years show Hamas winning. Just like in elections that happened in 2005 that USA pushed for Has nothing to do with Israel. PS. canada just said that will recognize palestine if it will hold elections (without hamas)
- AlecSchueler 1y agoThe fact that countries halfway around the world are using basic recognition as a coercive tool to shape their democratic expression is exactly why Hamas has any following.
- tguvot 1y ago"we would like you to have democratic elections but we would like you to remove highest polling party from democratic process". to be honest, reasons for hamas having following are many, and I doubt that this is the major one
