A generation of Palestinians has reached adulthood without ever voting in a legislative election. Any serious attempt to revive the peace process has to start by giving them that chance.
As I understand it, the elections are being postponed because otherwise neither Hamas nor Fatah would win. Marwan Barghouti’s alternative list would. Some people call him the Palestinian Mandela.
Moreover, there is a very good chance he would win the presidential election next year too.

If it takes place, of course.
And will Palestinians accept being deprived of the franchise?
Did they even give a semblance of an excuse this time?
I am so so furious about this
