Mahmoud Abbas's government was brought around by the US and Israel. It is "democratic". Hamas was elected in a landslide victory when Fatah was in power. It is "undemocratic". US, Europe and Israel do not support undemocratic governments. So they withdrew or blocked all sources of funding for the PLA.
Obviously, US being on the side of democracy, supplied arms and training to Fatah militant Mohhamed Dahlan in a clandestine manner. Hamas was supposed to sit idly by and watch. In stead, they dared to destroy Dahlan's organization and take control of the area that they were elected to govern. So, with US backing, Abbas sacked the Hamas government (never mind that he has no power on the ground). Immediately, the pro-democratic Western forces came to Abbas's aid with promises of lots of money. This is supposed to turn a hostile Palestinian population pro-US and pro-Israel.
