This is so factually incorrect its blatant racist propaganda.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Legislative_Council

Hamas is a political party that electorally seized control of Gaza in in 2006 from Fatah, Yasser Arafat's party. Fatah rebelled against Hamas in 2007 and lost. Yet Fatah is still has 45 seats to Hamas' 72 on the PLC.

Nice little excerpt for you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaza_(2007)#2006_Palestinian_legislative_election

The Palestinian legislative election took place on 25 January 2006 and was judged to be free and fair by international observers.[18][19] It resulted in a Hamas victory, surprising Israel and the United States, which had expected their favoured partner, Fatah, to retain power.[20] On 27 January, US President George Bush said "the landslide victory of the militant Islamic group Hamas was a rejection of the "status quo" and a repudiation of the "old guard" that had failed to provide honest government and services".[2]

That last line from Bush is surprisingly correct. Hamas is effectively the Palestinian branch of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. Their primary tactic is actually charity work by feeding the abundant poor people of Gaza and radicalizing them from there.

and were not even elected, they literally just took control

They’re thugs, they don’t represent Palestinian, but by giving credence to their organization

Literally the most popular political party in the West Bank and Gaza.

used political violence and only a small portion of the population to gain power

Made up bullshit that I literally just disproved with George Fucking Bush agreeing that they won the election fair in square.

Terrorist organization

They said the same thing about the ANC and Nelson Mandela. Do you know where South Africa stands on this issue?

So they used violence against Palestinian people

What the fuck are you even referring to? Putting down the Fatah coup? How dare they defend Palestinian democracy.

and only accepted a small portion of the vote

Again, what are you referring to? The election was internationally accepted as free and fair.
