A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

      So… You concede that there are no terror orgs who have expanded the rights of the people they control?

        The basis of your statement is nonsensical.

        Terror organisations don’t control the rights of people. (If they did, then terrorism would not be needed)

          Which is why they won’t be handed autonomy over Palestine.

          Glad we are in agreement.

              Did they not take away the Palestinian right to elections back in 2006?

              If you want to argue that Hamas has liberalized in the last 19 years, or even the last 6 months, by all means make that argument, but I am growing bored of the rhetoric I am currently being given.

                Did they not take away the Palestinian right to elections back in 2006?

                Which is why I asked about elections and opposition parties.

                If you want to argue that Hamas has liberalized in the last 19 years,

                No.

                or even the last 6 months,

                No.

                but I am growing bored of the rhetoric I am currently being given.

                You are being given no rhetoric. I was asking a question.
