Abbas and the PA are totally not effective, they're disliked by Palestinians which is why Abbas won't hold an election. Abbas was a failure internationally and domestically, all he did was rule over the occupied people without working to make their situation better.
Palestinians have tried every form of resistance over the decades.
What has changed since 2006?
Hamas was democratically elected, the US and Israel worked to try to implement a coup to keep them out of power. Then Israel realized that by funding and supporting Hamas they could keep Palestinians divided, which was to their advantage.
There have been at least five of these types of 'wars' or attack on Gaza since 2006. Some were more brutal than others and this is the worst by far.
In 2014 Palestinians in Gaza marched to the Gaza prison walls every Friday for a year, where IOF soldiers used snipers to shoot them as they protested. Google 'The Great March of Return'. In 2021, the last Hamas attack occurred after a series of settler terrorist attacks followed by settlers storming the Al Aqsa, which is exactly what happened in Oct last year.
Nothing has been effective for Palestinians, so they resort to violence to resist the illegal occupation of Palestine.
Now Israel has responded with genocide and a total war with the US on Arabs.
The question is what happens after this ends.
Do you think Israel will come out ahead?
