    By “they elected Hamas” you mean maybe 15% of the current population? That’s a broad brush you’re wielding.

    (Based on 70% of the population of Gaza being under 30 years old, meaning they’d have been 13 or under in 2006, when the last election was held. And Hamas got ~45% of the popular vote in the 2006 election.)

      This is sarcasm, he’s just using random words commonly used to justify this massacre. With the addition of “China” and “Qatar state news”. Which some very intelligent folk here use to dismiss videos proving that the IDF doesn’t consist of human beings.

        Thanks for the clarification. It’s hard to tell these days and I don’t always have the spoons/mental bandwidth for it.
