Everything I said about the Palestinian elections is from Wikipedia and their direct words. You also ignore the fact that Arabs in Israel are the only Arabs (other than the Tunisian, occasionally) who can vote and have their own parties.

Palestinians Arabs have had one national election and Israeli Arabs vote as often as Israel has elections which seems to be happening every year.

Criticize Israel's conduct all you want but please come with facts.

The wikipedia article indicates an absence of democracy in Palestine, haltingproblem, wouldn't you agree?

> Israel does not allow free exercise of political activities; checkpoints and separation walls hinder many social activities. The Legislative Council cannot properly function because free travel is impossible, especially between Gaza and the West Bank, regardless of hostilities between Fatah and Hamas. Members of the Palestinian Legislative Council and other politicians have been subject to lengthy detentions by Israel or even killed
