Or really anyone in fatah. Leftists usually support ideas like democracy and transparency in government, I don't see much of that anymore from the PA.

I think the dispute is mostly about control of land, assets and revenue. Hamas is unwilling to be subsumed by the PA, and Abbas is unwilling to give them any real control in the government.

It's a classic Mexican standoff.
