      Conveniently, the Palestinian government is denying all citizens the right to vote because those who live in Jerusalem would not be included. It helps Hamas keep power while pinning blame elsewhere.

      They scheduled one for last year to get on Biden’s good side, but that never happened.

      They can. They won’t.

      Either they’re just undemocratic, or they know that the results of elections wouldn’t be what they want them to be.

      Because Abbas is a lying, snivelling turd who pretends to care about his people.
