    Demographic from Wikipedia:

    0–14 years: 44.1% 15–24 years: 21.3% 25–54 years: 28.5% 55–64 years: 3.5% 65 years and over: 2.6%

    something like 75% of all Gazans were either not born or not of voting age when the last elections were held 16 years ago.

    Goddamned time traveling Palestinians!

      As though this changes the fact that they’re the officially elected government in Gaza and that 57% support them from the latest polling?

      Weird perspective.

        damn, imagine you need to justify killing brown people so hard you would use Assad support numbers.

        Fun fact, there can be no accurate survey of opinion in a region controlled by a group that kills you for having the wrong one

          Fun fact, when the actual facts and empirical data don’t support your false narrative, you claim facts don’t matter and that there’s no such thing as facts.

          LOL, I also understand a false character attack, like accusing someone of supporting the killing of PoC, when your argument is factually bankrupt and poorly reasoned. Makes sense, and it suits you.

          I DO support killing all members of Hamas because they’re terrorists and intentionally target civilians and have always done so. Nice try on the libel, though.

            ok, for the eternally slow, there can be no accurate political polling done in an authoritarian regime, it’s like going around and asking people in Nazi Germany if they support the Nazis, what are you going to do say no and get put into the camps?

            and how is “Hamas” defined? to kill all members of Hamas you need to kill every single Palestinian to be sure
