If it was the second parliamentary election then no wonder they haven't held a third one considering the obstructions racist Israel put in the way of the second one (which was none of Israel's business anyway). Doesn't the gross interference the Guardian described cause you any shame as a shill for Israel? Not that shame comes easily to racists.

Recite 100 "He's a Jew-hater"s and you'll feel better.

I would feel decidedly better if you were to accept the following assessment of the last parliamentary elections held in 2006 for Gazan,West Bank and East Jerusalem Arabs :

"Voter turnout for Palestinian Legislative Council elections in Palestine was an impressive 77% of 1.3 million registered voters, including 74% in the West Bank, 82% in the Gaza Strip, and 46% in Arab East Jerusalem despite harsh Israeli restrictions there. Forty-seven percent of registered voters were women. There was almost no violence or intimidation against voters. The results can therefore be said to represent the will of the Palestinian people—a stunning victory for the concept of democracy in the Middle East."

A repeat dose of the same medicine is urgently needed to see if the voters still want to be governed by Hamas and the PLO after 11 long years without parliamentary elections.

Hamas and the PLO can call such elections today. That they refuse to do so is a disgrace.

From the resident uber-racist:

"Hamas and the PLO can call such elections today"

But because of enemy control over the process they can't conduct them.

Carefully study https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/jan/26/comment.mainsection and please let's all know how many goyim were elected PM in racist Israel since the Nakba?

The article referred to by you was written by Hind Khoury identified as "the Palestinian Authority's minister of state for Jerusalem Affairs"

My comments on that article:

1. Hind admits that the total population of East Jerusalem Arabs was "nearly a quarter of a million (including children)." Readers would have been better served had Khoury said how many were adults and eligible to vote. One could reasonably estimate that number to be 125000.

2. Khoury falsely asserted:
" The 94% of Palestinian Jerusalemites barred from voting in their city have to travel to the other side of Israel's wall to vote, passing barbed-wire fences and the nervous teenagers armed to the teeth at Israeli checkpoints. Israel knew few Palestinian Jerusalemites would choose to spend an entire day on this arduous journey, and was thereby trying

to deprive almost the entire Jerusalem electorate of its democratic right to vote".

In fact the voter turnout of Arabs living in East Jerusalem was 46% as I have pointed out to you on two occasions so far - which you still fail to acknowledge as being correct.

Khoury's claim that "few Palestinian Jeruslamites" would make the "arduous journey" to vote is simply false and misleading.

Based on the above figure of 125000 eligible voters in East Jerusalem - 57500 voted.

Is that what you call a "few Palestinian Jeruslamites"?

I don't.

You also claim elections for Arabs living in West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem cannot be called today "because of enemy control over the process they can't conduct them."

Total and utter rubbish.

The 2006 elections were administered by a professional and independent Palestinian Central Elections Commission (CEC). There is no reason to believe they could not do the job again if Hamas and the PLO could agree to give the people a say after 11 long years in the political wilderness.

There was a 77% voter turnout.

"Enemy control over the process"? Another unsubstantiated comment by you that is totally and utterly debunked by the facts.

You can read about the work of the CEC at:

Mr Singer: Enemy control means control over travel of voters to voting booths. See Guardian item I cited.

Please respond to the last paragraph of my post of Sunday, 4 June 2017 1:01:30 PM as it relates to the phoney and oft-repeated claim that racist Israel is a democracy.
