If you’re going to complain about the PA, then maybe you should be upset that the Knesset publicly supported a coup in the PA and armed that coup with weapons, which it then used to stop elections. You don’t get to break someone else’s thing and then blame the victims for their thing being broken.
“Hours of research” failed to turn up the 2006 coup by Fatah in an attempt to seize control of the democratically elected PA government? They failed in Gaza but took control in West Bank. The Knesset publicly held discussions and decided to fund Fatah’s coup including giving them weapons. We’re still feeling the repercussions today, and naturally Netanyahu used it as an excuse to avoid any further peace negotiations after he helped fragment the Palestinian leadership in a fait accompli.

What coup are you referring to?
I have never heard of this, and hours of research turned up nothing.

2006 coup by Fatah against Hamas and the attempted takeover of Gaza Strip. It’s well documented.
