hamas took gaza by popular vote, the PA had the westbank..as far as i remember.
but all of that is immaterial to the original question;

scoot apparently believes that israel wants/planned on having a failed theocratic state in gaza

my best guess is that so israeli residents in the south can be randomly shot at by missiles, rockets, mortars....and the soldiers on the border can also be randomly attacked almost daily and have to worry about those tunnels being built (yes they can hear them sometimes) and the kidnapping attempts)...

perhaps so israel can return to gaza, and reoccupy, i do believe this is how he perceives zionism...perhaps you can enlighten me

you did give it the +1, which as far as i understand means you agree......
