Khalil al-Hayya, a deputy to Hamas Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar says the group's aim is not to run Gaza but to shake the Middle East and put Palestinian issue back in focus; Tells New York Times expected Arab world to join fight
You understand a large portion of the population wasn’t born at the time of that election, right?
Considering that we’re talking about 2006… only 17 years ago… Only people we consider children would not have been born yet (and generally aren’t allowed to vote). So this is moot point.
You understand that election was forced by the US, right?
Evidence please. You’ve just made a claim that it not immediately supported by anything. US has had involvement with Israel… Not Palestine. The 2006 elections were entirely Palestinian controlled as far as I can see.
You understand the US failed to coup Hamas and solidified their power, right?
Once again. We tend to back Israel… Not Palestine. Which would have put us attempting to help Israel AGAINST Hamas…
You think little babies should be blown to bits over an election 17 years ago right?
Oh shit… you can do math! If you read the article that this Lemmy thread is about… you’d see that THEY CHOSE THIS. Blame Hamas. Not US or Israel. they made this choice knowing what would happen. You would think that if they’re so against Hamas, they would have kicked Hamas out long ago.
Maybe 20% of the current population voted for Hamas 17 years ago. Democratic legitimacy has to have some kind of shelf life, no?
Are they still collectively responsible when it’s 10%? Are 2.4 million people responsible when there’s just one remaining person alive who voted for them?

~50% of Gaza is under 18.
Think it through bud, you can do it.
(also I love how if I don’t cite sources on everything I’m automatically wrong because it doesn’t confirm to the propoganda you’ve been fed lmao)
