    Hamas as an organization doesn’t represent the Palestinian people as a whole

    I thought Hamas was the democratically elected government of those people?

      In Gaza yeah. Not on the west bank which is the bulk of Palestine. If I remember correctly those elections were like 17 years ago and they got around 45% of the vote

        Oh! I heard they were democratically elected, I guess I just assumed it was part of a functioning democracy. No elections for seventeen years isn’t a functioning democracy though.
