Whether their elections were fair or not, this is what happens when you use your own people as human shields.
Idk if the Palestinian people will realize this or not, or just 2-dimensionally blame Israel for it all, but it doesn't matter.
This whole thing is because of religion and its poison.
The US should enforce a no-state solution, where a 50-mile circle around Jerusalem belongs to nobody. Sell it to Disney and call it "Holy Land." If you want to visit, you'll do so as a tourist a buy a ticket.
And that idea is no more silly than the reality of the situation today. Religion is embarrassing and costing lives because some people have to bicker and squabble about which is the best, wrong religion. In 500 years, this aspect of humanity will be the least impressive bit.
Remember, today's Islam is simply Christianity with a 700 year delay.
I doubt any of you would want to live back in 1324, where we'd all be killed for saying the wrong thing. And none of us with minds that work would want to be in that stagnant time for innovation. But hey, you get a 13 year old wife out of it, so that makes it better, right?
