Hamas was recognized by plurality vote (and substantially less than a majority,) in 2006- over fifteen years ago.

Of the people that would be eligible to have voted in ‘23, less than half of them were even able to votein ‘06.

Nice try at painting Hamas as democratic.

And once again you are fucking defending a sovereign state that is committing genocide for the sole purpose of- a state that already has that sovereignty you seem to believe they don’t.

It’s patently obvious that you are full of bullshit. Are you really saying that some Palestinians being extremists justified the genocide Israel is currently committing?

Are you really trying to say that Israel has the right to exist- and indeed are a sovereign state, but that Palestinians don’t? Because Israel is the one actively committing genocide, and has denied Palestinians representation for over 70 years, and whose current elected government is actively ensuring can never have representation.
