I see a lot of talk about "post-war Gaza". Assuming that's it's not just a bunch of luxury beachfront condos for wealthy Israelis (the most likely outcome, and already being offered), most pundits seem to feel that Gaza should be ruled by a "reformed" Palestinian Authority - under Israel's thumb, of course, and thoroughly disarmed and surveilled.
For some reason no one ever seems to consider that the people of Gaza might want to CHOOSE their own government. I wonder why that might be? Do Palestinians not deserve democracy, perhaps?
