    Ah yes, they should have elected a pro-Israeli government in the checks notes 2006 election when over half of Gaza’s pre-genocide population either wasn’t born yet or wasn’t old enough to vote.

    Fuck this fucking pro-genocide bastard.

      Also, why the fuck would they vote for a “pro-Israel” government after that state has violently oppressed them, to the point of genocide, for several decades at that point?

      Not to mention that even back then, they had already been depriving them of food and supplies, taking their territory, killing or imprisoning them randomly without charge, uprooting their olive trees and other forms of livelihood, killing their civilians wars, etc for 50 years. Neither Fatah or Hamas or the PFLP support Israel, that wasn’t an option in that election because no one would’ve fucking voted for that!

      It would be like saying if the most recent generation of Native Americans didn’t want to die, their parents should have all elevated pro-American colonies chiefs after years of genocide had been already ongoing. In what universe would that make sense?
