Yes, After Arafat died they were elected by a small election of something like 45 percent back in 2006. Since then, the “democratically” and “fairly” elected government that didn’t even try to influence the election with any terroristic activity, has not held another election. Do you wonder why? As far as the people of Gaza supporting the Hamas attack on Israel, are you serious? They would support ANYBODY attacking Israel but then again, they would gladly accept any humanitarian aid from Israel also.
