Eric Loh Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 4 minutes ago, Morch said: Most polls conduced over the years show Hamas enjoys solid popular support (about half of the voter base, or a bit less). This includes both Gaza residents and those on the West Bank. Further, who will 'allow' this? Israel? Then the results would be seen as illegitimate. The PA? Same thing. International involvement? Again, the same. The Palestinian cabinet in Ramallah has a legal mandate to call for holding elections per the elction laws. Hamas being the defacto power in Gaza can decide whether to hold elections or not. In the past, Hamas has prevented several attempts to hold election sparking anger by the voters in Gaza. Hamas has announced that they are ready to hold municipal election on the 27 September '23. A recent survey from the Palestine Center unveiled that Hamas hold a 58% in Gaza and 42% in the West Bank favouring Hamas. Time for Gaza to decide in an election whether their future lays in the hands of radical Hamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's about land that happens to be inconveniently occupied by people already, and the isaelis want it. Yes, the us should stay out of it, but they won't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PA did so to avoid a likely electoral defeat. The Hamas did it because, effectively, they cannot govern anyway (all aid to the Palestinians would cease, international sanctions applied on West Bank as well, legitimacy for Israeli actions in West Bank too). All their quibbling about not having elections is just self serving bs, and political posturing. At the same time, any election results are likely to be contested, or even ignored in some areas. The prospects of outside powers conducting such elections, and these not facing similar issues is a fantasy. It goes back to the notion that Palestinian should have everything handed to them, rather than take charge of their affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an atheist, I see this as a conflict between Islamic terrorism and Jewish civilization.

You're welcome to come up with similar situation, and inform how forces behaved under similar conditions. The power station in Israel, supplying at least half of the Strip's electricity needs was initially hit by Hamas rockets. This stopped operations for a while, and as operations resumed, power to the Gaza Strip was cut. Obviously, in your world, Hamas should not be held accountable for anything, Palestinians are never to to be held responsible for the consequences of their own actions and choices. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could always ask for cease fire, release hostages and so on. Obviously won't happen. Doubt Hamas did not stock enough food and supplies for it's own people and leaders beforehand. As for 'how long' - not to be too crass, but if past rounds of fighting are referenced, then 5-7 days or so. Surprisingly, Gaza's population if still on the rise even after that - so doubt 2 million will be 'wiped' now as well. It is also an international crime to indiscriminately shoot rockets at civilians, or to slaughter them face to face at their homes. You seem to focus on one side's actions - without context whatsoever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't kill people fast enough, because for every innocent you kill you create a dozen new zealots. I think they should round up the guilty participants, take them out back and shoot them. Download every photo and video and do a facial recognition profile on every one of them, and hound them across the earth. But I draw the line at collective punishment, especially kids and elders. (And I'm pretty sure that international law agrees) Or they're no better than the Nazis who purged entire city populations to punish the actions of a few resistance fighters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
