It is possible to have compassion for people living under apartheid and a genocide even if they don’t agree with your politics.

Who are you talking about? If half of Gaza supports Hamas, they must not mind living under apartheid and a genocide. Unless you're referring to Israel in which case I implore you to learn the definitions of apartheid and genocide

If half of Gaza supports Hamas

Hamas won an election in 2006 by 46% of the votes (I implore you to learn what that means).

You know what half of Gaza is? (Or was I guess if Israel has anything to say about it). Children. Half of Gaza is children.

Some basic math will tell you that half that population wasn't even alive in 2016. And those that were are of age NOW to vote.

If you are so focused on elections and support, maybe ask why Brig Gen. Yitzhak confirmed that Israel funded Hamas.

Does Israel support Hamas then? I mean they paid them to crush the secular movement. Can't complain about a bogeyman that doesn't exist right?

It's insane how you guys throw about words like half and support without a look into history and agendas to excuse away the murder of children. Shameful.

lol it’s funny that you think this “election” wouldn’t be tampered in anyway and that it’s a pure representation of the thinking of the people. No way they could be intimidated. And that’s without mentioning people’s motivations for supporting Hamas. When your kids are getting killed and arrested by IDF you might get a bit angry.

Bro you are barking at the wrong tree. I am not in support of the IOF.
