Though the political wing of Hamas forms the government, it remains Occupied Palestinian Territory, subject to Israeli Martial Law Denied self determination and a sovereign state, it is effectively a municipal government.
Since around 2 million Palestinians live in the tiny Gaza Strip, there has never been enough agricultural land to feed its residents, and its fishing boats are limited to a tiny bit of water. If they stray too far from shore they are shot.

This is why Gaza has been called "the world's largest open air concentration camp."
When this "war" started, more than half the population was made up of children... none of whom were alive, much less able to vote in that election that Israel insisted on holding.
My understanding is that voters in Gaza chose Hamas politicians over the Palestinian Authority politicians because of systemic corruption in the PA.

#BBC has removed the video, which has been attacked because one of the children in it is the son or nephew of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture in the Hamas "governmenr," elected in 2006.
Although Israel famously "withdrew" its illegal settlements, the International Court of Justice ruled Gaza is still part of the Occupied Territory of Palestine,
the enclave has been under siege ever since. Israel controls who/what can go in or out.

This clip follows 11 year old Zacharia, who is working as junior paramedic.
No child should have to live through this.

Canadians may be polite, but that doesn't mean Canada is a pushover. Canadians and Americans are friends, but Canadians don't want to be Americans.
The last time the USA tried to conquer Canada didn't end well. For them.
Even in the worst case scenario for us, we still win.

A viral video of Israeli troops ransacking a home in southern Lebanon "joking around" a destroyed piano.
Dr. Julia Ali, a Lebanese citizen from the border village of Khiyam, recognized her family home and piano in the footage.
Julia later shared a video she recorded last year in the same spot, playing a piece from The Pianist, a film about a Holocaust survivor. "My home in Khiyam held years of memories, years of playing my piano. My heart is shattered," she said.

"The absolute bare minimum Canada needs to do right now is to stop arming a genocide."
