The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

But do they? The PA had an election 20-30 years ago. The voted Hamas. There hasn't been an election since. So the young people today (what's left of them) did NOT vote for Hamas. They didn't vote at all. They couldn't.

Poll the Palestinians. What does it say about their opinion of Hamas?

But they do have memories of "settlers" evicting them from their lands, killing them if they refused to leave, and the Israeli government doing nothing to stop it (after the assassination of Rabin).

So they can remember the nakhba or whatever the term is but they can't remember they used to have some democratic principles. Sure.
