In the run-up to elections, Palestinians eschew campaign speeches and peaceful protests, marching through the streets, firing automatic weapons in the air instead.

The Palestinian Authority is preparing for its first elections in close to a decade and a half, which may or may not actually come to fruition.

While Israel has a robust political process and free elections, Palestinians intimidate candidates by brandishing weapons, firing automatic weapons into the air.

Let’s hope innocent people remain safe amid such madness.
