A Chicago-area landlord has been arrested and charged with murder and hate crimes after authorities said he stabbed and killed a 6-year-old boy and seriously wounded his mother, allegedly because the tenants are Muslim.
Hamas was elected in a plurality, not a majority, in 2006. Since then, they’ve cancelled future elections. I don’t think they should be recognized as Gaza’s legitimate government until they run elections. The leaders of Hamas don’t even live in Gaza - preferring to run things from the safety of another country as they funnel money away from the Palestinian people and towards their own pockets and weapons to kill Jews in Israel.
I’m not saying Hamas being deposed would fix the issues in the Middle East. That situation is such a twisted knot that no one thing will solve it. However, the Palestinian people need to be able to hold elections and decide for themselves whether or not Hamas will continue to lead them.

Palestinians deposing Hamas would fix their worst issues at least. But we all know they’re not going to do that.
