From what I understand, for all practical purposes there is no "Palestinian Authority". It's there, sort of. But Hamas is running the show. There hasn't been an election since Hamas was voted-in almost 2 decades ago. Over half the people in Gaza didn't vote for them because they were too young (or not even born yet). And there hasn't been an election since.

At this point, it's sort of the situation in Germany in the 30s. Even if you realize you made a boo-boo, it's too late. The Palestinians have to worry about the Hamas equivalent of the Gestapo; being labeled a "traitor" and lynched/shot.
