There [hasn't been an election in Gaza for 18 years so nobody there had had the opportunity to choose an alternative anyway.

That's especially crazy about the "Palestinians voted for Hamas". With the median age in gaza a bit below 18 years the majority of Gazans wasn't even alive in the last election. Of the adults about half weren't of voting age during that time.
