Actually, it's US police that go to Israel for training. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-us-police-training-end-knee-neck-protests

Life was too easy, switched to hard mode this go.
Because all but one of those 54 have a bloody history of colonization and domination by foreign powers.
The generation before us also had a class divide, and a good deal of them fought against that divide. The average boomer is no more Diane Feinstein than a millennial is Skreli.
Handy tip: an abbreviation for Nationalist Christians is Nat-Cs.
There's the Egyptian state, which is pretty much the army, and the Egyptian people. Very different sympathies and motives.
Hamas won the last PA elections back in 2006. Fatah tried to prevent Hamas from taking power, and since then they've had Fatah in the West Bank ('protected' by Israel) and Hamas in Gaza. Because of the conflict between Fatah and Hamas, they've not had fully democratic elections since, as neither allows the other to campaign.
My understanding of Palestinian politics is that Fatah lost legitimacy by supporting negotiations with Israel, which Israel undermined. Corruption was also a part.

No, until the rise of the modern Zionist movement, there wasn't a lot of sectarian conflict. (Well, since the Crusades.) There are Palestinian Jews(and Christians) that were living in British Palestine. 1927 coin in English, Arabic, and Hebrew https://www.etsy.com/listing/1538377183/1927-and-1942-palestine-2-mils-israel?gpla=1&gao=1&=&utm_custom1=_k_c2d52efd97041940710b4bded98150ab_k_&utm_custom2=319339185&msclkid=c2d52efd97041940710b4bded98150ab
FWIW, Hamas won the last election that the Palestinian Authority held in 2006 (!) Fatah pretty much kept the West Bank, denying Hamas the victory, but couldn't stop Hamas from taking over in Gaza. My understanding of PA politics was that negotiation with Israel was seen as a dead end and that any party with negotiations as a primary tactic was going to lose. And Israel is responsible for that perception.
EVs do require fewer workers as they have fewer parts. Which is why the UAW demand of a 32 hour work week at the same pay is relevant: less work, so we should work less and maintain jobs.
It is fucking amazing how a militant and democratic leadership (Fain is the first UAW president elected by direct member vote) turned the UAW around.
It's important to note that our sexuality is socially constructed, our desires are not solely based on biology but culture.
"In the Christian medieval world, some theories held that women received far more pleasure from a sexual encounter than men, and had much greater sexual appetite." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_female_sexuality
Hamas won the 2006 election, and Fatah and the rest of the world opposed them taking office. Hamas and Fatah fought it out, and Hamas won in Gaza and Fatah in the West Bank.
You're right that Hamas hasn't allowed elections since then, but simply saying, 'violently pushing out Fatah ' is much less than accurate.
It should also be noted that Hamas won that election because Fatah's strategy of negotiations was seen as a dead end and Israel is responsible for that. And of course, there might not even BE a Hamas if Israel hadn't funded Hamas as a divide and conquer strategy against the Palestinian secular nationalist movement .
