Even if they did elect Hamas today, how can you hold it against them? Violence is a pretty natural response to apartheid states. Ideally both sides could deescalate the conflict, but both parties obtain their power by ensuring the fighting continues. The citizens on both sides are the losers.
On second thought, everybody said their peace re. Gaza, so let's drop that since while they started the war they're irrelevant at this point, it's taken on a life of it's own.
