The last election was 2006. Hamas won with a plurality, of 44%, and as we now know, with Israel government support. Turnout in Gaza was 75%, so only 33% of the adults then in Gaza voted for Hamas. The median age in Palestine is 19.7 years, so nearly half the population was not old enough to vote (18) in 2006. But yes, any lame excuse for collective punishment goes. And that\u2019s before getting to the fact that Hamas moved away from its opposition to Israel as a Jewish state in 2017<\/a> and limited its objections to Zioinism. <\/p>\n Retired members of Israeli Military Intelligence Unit 8200: “One way to restore Israeli deterrence in the Middle East after October 7, 2023, is to continue the cycle of killing and destruction.
