The events I listed were not part of the Fatah-Hamas conflict, they were retaliation from the US and Israel for Hamas winning the election.

The GP was talking about Palestinians being unable to vote. While it's easy to place blame Palestine issues on the US and Israel, in this case it's clear that elections are not taking place because Fatah and Hamas can't get their house in order.

The discussion is about Palestinian sovereignty. When your election results in the kind of retaliation I mentioned, why would you work towards another? Such elections aren't proof of democracy.

While the current situation is an indicator that Palestinians don't get to choose their leaders.
