Hamas would love nothing more than to stabilize the country of Palestine, and then resume systematically throwing gay and trans people off roofs of buildings. "Queers for Palestine" protestors are all hopeful morons.

It's Queers for Palestine; not Queers for Hamas.

Who do you think was elected to run the governance of Gaza and Palestine before Israel plowed through?

Anyone under 36 wasn’t even eligible to vote the last time Palestine had parliamentary elections. Holding people responsible for elections that happened before they could vote or before they were even born is absolutely deranged.

I'd be willing to wager that an unusually large portion of the population falls into that category as well. Anyone have any statistics about the demographics of Palestine? Oh, their annual census is out of date? You don't say.

Their median age is about 19 years old.

I believe 40% is under the age of 15. So, during the last vote, 40% were, at most, around -3 at the time. I don't they were.........

There are some folks who can't comprehend the mentality of:

"They hate us so they don't deserve to die"

Wow, get out of your tribalistic hole
