      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!

          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

              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

      Anyone harping on how Hamas is the “elected” government when they haven’t had elections in, what, 16 years, is just simping for Netanyahu’s genocide. I see you felt the need to say “elected” twice just to be really obvious about it.

      Oh, please tell me what you think of IDF killing their own:

      An initial IDF probe into the hostage killing incident suggests all three men were shirtless, with one carrying a makeshift white flag.

      On seeing them, one Israeli soldier shouted “terrorists!” to the other forces, initiating fire at the men, according to reports.

      While two hostages were hit immediately and fell to the ground, the third managed to escape into a nearby building where despite pleas in Hebrew, he was also shot and killed, a military official said.

          wow, we are getting into these conspiracy theories, ya? well I’ll tell you that the IDF killed those 1300 Israelis.

          now for some real info: Netanyahu supported Hamas to stay in power by targeting their opposition, there would be no Hamas if not for the Ethnostate government in Israel right now.
