  • I thought we don't accept the results of the election?

    Immediately after the election, Fatah, with US and Israeli support dismissed the Hamas government, which Hamas obviously disagreed with.

    At this point there's a stalemate where we (the West) and Fatah don't recognize the Hamas government and Hamas can't call an election because they have not officially governed.

  • Hamas ran in the 2006 election under a completely different name, in an effort to demonstrate that they can in fact separate themselves from their militant faction.

    Remember, Israel also had its origins in armed struggle (against the British).

    Edit: although this is probably Israeli projection, given that the armed factions did become the Israeli military. And we all know what they're up to.

  • Holy misinformation batman.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood

    Hassan al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in the city of Ismailia in March 1928 along with six workers of the Suez Canal Company, as a Pan-Islamic, religious, political, and social movement.

    They were opposed to colonialism, both in the form of British occupation and the threat of Zionism - the direct result of which we're seeing today.

    They did side with the axis powers in WW2, but we've seen that elsewhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_National_Army - the logic being that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

    Also,

    al-Banna and other members of the Brotherhood voiced admiration for aspects of Nazi ideology, including its militarism and its centralization revolving around a charismatic leader but opposed others like its racial policies and ethnic nationalism.

    At this point we can't say the same about Israel given it is entirely founded on ethnic nationalism.
