The distinction, if it's valid, is that there hasn't been an election in Palestine since 2006, whilst there have been 8 in the same period in Israel. It's hard to argue that the Israeli government isn't more representative of the people's current wishes than Palestines.
(There is a wrinkle that some of those elections happened because a majority wasn't met so weak coalitions had to be formed, but still I think the picture is quite different between the two)

It seems to be a trend on here.
Palestine ≠ Hamas
Israel = Israeli right wing and Settler nutters
As long as generalisations go one way it's aok 👍
