Israel shuts down local Al Jazeera offices

This is a very long post that doesn't contradict anything I've said. There was a 7-day civil war in Gaza, which Hamas technically started (if that matters to you), back in 2007; Hamas has controlled Gaza ever since. It was doing so prior to that "war" (one of the reasons Fatah and Hamas got into it was that Hamas replaced all of the PA's governing institutions --- the courts, the school systems, etc --- with Hamas-designed alternatives), but, whatever.

Also: we all have access to Wikipedia. You don't have to copy and paste whole articles here.

I do, because you don't seem to read them:

>> There was a 7-day civil war in Gaza, which Hamas technically started (if that matters to you), back in 2007;

No. Fatah started it. The US funded, armed and trained a Fatah faction to stage a coup against Hamas. The coup backfired and Hamas kicked Fatah out of Gaza.

To be perfectly clear: Fatah and Hamas are different, rival organisations. The 2007 Gaza War was started by Fatah, not Hamas.

Again: it's on wikipedia.

>> (one of the reasons Fatah and Hamas got into it was that Hamas replaced all of the PA's governing institutions --- the courts, the school systems, etc --- with Hamas-designed alternatives),

Yes, because they won the election. So they replaced the public officials with their own. Are you suggesting there is something sinister in that?

People on this site are going to disagree with you about all sorts of things. You need to stop writing things like "you don't seem to read", or the worse thing you wrote downthread, if you expect to have a curious conversation with anybody. Can you do that?

Nah, I'm good. You refuse to engage with the information I present and continue to say the same factually wrong things over and over. You don't get to lecture me about curious conversation.
