Asalam.Why the world did not respect the Palestinian election?

Answer 1

Because the West recognizes Hamas as a terrorist malitia. Yet Bush is the one who pushed for a Democratic vote in Palestine. hmmmmm something's wrong here

Bush told Abbas to hold a democratic election and even though Abbas advised bush there would definitely be a coup. Bush insisted and told Abbas the US would cut aid if they didn't hold elections. Hamas won the election fairly but because Bush didn't like Hamas he cut the aid anyway..... (It is very double standard indeed.)

I do NOT agree with Hamas and their radical techniques and the fact they do not recognize Israel.

take a look at the other side:
Fatah came into existence in 1958, founded by Yasser Arafat. A more moderate group that DOES recognize Israel and has engaged in peace efforts with Israel. (unlike Hamas)

To this day though, Israel STILL refuses to recognize Palestine.

My take on this issue and maybe I am wrong but since it's been almost 5 decades under fatah and still no peace and no state... maybe the people were just so tired and felt so hopeless they too began to rebel in a sense. Therefore electing Hamas, thinking maybe things would change.

In defense of the Palestinians...... this is what can happen, when an entire people are impoverished, helpless, their lively hood is destroyed, living under constant oppression and occupation without the daily needs met.

Answer 2

The "world" does not only consist of people who disrespect Hamas' victory in the elections. Unfortunately, with overwhelming reports in the US and UK media about Hamas being a supposed "terrorist group", the Palestinians once again will suffer the consequences. Hamas was a light of hope for the people of Palestine. They saw what Fatah was capable of. Making friends and accepting aid from the same people who were out to destroy them. Taking that aid and doing nothing for the Palestinian people. Standing idly by as the wall went up and more illegal settlements were built on Palestinian land. Watched as children were murdered in their schools and homes. They were sick of being treated as animals in cages in their own country. So they voted otherwise, for change. Once Israel and the US pushed for the elections, they knew what the outcome would be. They planned it this way. The day Hamas was voted into office, they immediately cut aid and pressured the world to do the same. Now they (Israel and the US) and trying to play the part of the humanitarians and are giving aid to Fatah to help them take over Hamas. Oh, thank you generous Israel for pledging 100 million to the poor Palestinians! Keep in mind they have been stealing 55 million per month since Hamas was elected. Why not give it to the hospitals they destroyed by cowardly air attacks, schools they destroyed the same way, Mosques and Churches in Palestine so that they can help the PEOPLE, not the greedy polititians who will use it to further the split between the nation of Palestine? Because they are happy as clams that this whole thing is happening. It is after all, what was in mind from the get go. The informed among us know what is really going on and do not rely on the main stream media for our knowledge of the situation. Why should Hamas agree to reconginse Israel as a precursor to acceptance? Has Israel recognised the country of Palestine which they stole? NO. With the US/Israel alliance, there will never be peace in the region, just bloodshed and horror. This is after all, just what they want.

Answer 3

Depends on situation...!
They issue people has right to elect their leaders but if people elect a party like "Hamas" nobody won't accept their rights.
It means double standard.

You can see these kind of standards in Israel and Arab conflicts a lot. When Zionists kill civilians, destroy their houses and running out them of their country media will pretend to Israel has every rights to attack them.
But when some resistance groups try to get their people rights or people try to elect a group democratically media will pretend to they are terrorists.

Power is an instrument in criminal countries hand. They just do every thing that they want. This doesn't relate to democracy.

Regards to "Chery" answer:

Israel is founded in base on invade other countries and occupy other lands. They don't want peace. They just need enough opportunity for occupy the rest of lands.
"Arafat" and his group lost their popularity because he couldn't make any peace and they just offer Zionists enough opportunity for occupy more lands and kill more innocents.

Without any doubt they are losers. So people elected "Hamas".
"Hamas" isn't a radical group. They just want to return back Palestinian rights and they will fight for their rights if it will be necessary.
Also this is Palestinian right to recognize someone or some countries. I don't think this is neccessary to recognize an occupier country like Israel while they don't want to recognize any Palestinian rights.

Answer 4

Logical, thank you for asking this question. I heard a rfile the day previous to this on c-span related to the disaster in Gaza and that i replaced into going to ask the very question you probably did. What human beings do no longer understand is that Israel actually supported the founding of Hamas at first because of the fact they observed them as a counterpoint to the PLO yet later regretted what that they had performed. regrettably you're batting your head against a stone wall attempting to cajole those whose minds are closed related to the morality of your place. yet all of us understand and the individuals in Gaza and the West financial enterprise understand that the U. S. purely helps the theory of democracy whilst it suits their applications. that may no longer something new. This has been the U. S. coverage time and time returned, no longer purely in Palestine yet in Chile with the overthrow and assassination of Allende,the comparable with Albeniz of Guatemala in 1954, the killing of Maurice Bishop in Guyana, the overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran. None of those human beings have been terrorists. The word did no longer even exist in those days/ They have been all democratically elected by capacity of the individuals of their very own united states yet weren't authorized of by capacity of the U. S.. the U. S.. has actually no ethical justification for enforcing a boycott upon the Palestinian human beings. yet they're repeating what they did to the Iraqis mutually as Saddam replaced into in potential. in no way BE AFRAID to communicate the actuality even however others will call you a liar and revile and prosecute you. The PLO have been referred to as terrorists mutually as they have been top-rated the Palestinian human beings. no remember whom they pick as their elected leaders, the U. S. and Israel will sort them as terrorists as will the individuals right here who don't comprehend what is going on. they're an OCCUPIED human beings.whose rights and liberties are trampeled upon on a daily basis by capacity of the Israeli military who occupy those peoples place of foundation. Ask WHO could desire to be REPRESENTING THEM IF no longer HAMAS??.

Answer 5

The Palestinians have every right to elect who they want to represent them.

To me, as an outsider, it just seems a real shame, and rather strange, that they chose Hamas, a terrorist group who only want to kill Israelis and who will not work towards peace at all.

They could instead have elected Fatah, who are more moderate and who had already agreed to have peace talks with Israel.

We've all seen the news pictures over recent days of how Hamas behaves. And we all know that these are the same people who plant bombs on trains and planes in foreign countries, as well as in Israel.

So can you appreciate that it's hard to be happy that the Palestinian people have elected terrorists to represent them?

Answer 6

We do not respect the election of Hamas because Hamas does not respect other countries. It doesn't even respect Fatah, the other party in its own nation. We respect the Palestinians' right to elect the leaders they want, but we also respect the right of Israel to have the government its people want.
And if Palestinians elect a government that wants to destroy us, they surely can't expect us to provide money or other support for that government! Their actions have natural consequences.

Answer 7

Palestinians had free democracy when most nations were nomads. City-state democracy 4000 years ago.

Answer 8

The world respects the election. It's just dumbfounded that they'd vote for prideful self-destruction instead of something constructive.

Answer 9

What do you want us to do, send them flowers or something? I do not feel any special need to alter my life style in the least to show "respect" to them.
What is it about Terrorists that makes them think the world owes them any favorable recognition???

Answer 10

what's to respect...just live your life
