MODERATORS
They "governed" in the gaza strip, yes, but when was the last election exactly? In 2006 they got in power, then they murdered their political opponents and have kept their power through force ever since
Saying that they're elected by and represent the people would be a bit of a stretch
Same stretch as saying the ruling Israeli government represents the people of Israel after the election crises over the last few years.
We have two ruling bodies who have a vested interest in continued conflict and not representative of their constituents.
Right, but folks say Israel is one, the whole nation, but Hamas is the other, they aren't Palestine. The differenciation in one and not the other is hypocritical and problematic.
Say Palestine vs Israel, accepting that it's assumed it their ruling body and army at war, and not the average people.
