Math: last election was in 2006. 52.6% of Gazans are under 18 and could not have voted. Of the remaining 47.4%, there are still some who'd have been too young in 2006. Let's say 40% of Gazans could possibly have voted for Hamas. Hamas was elected with just 44% of the vote. 40% of 2 million is 800,000. 44% of 800,000 is 352,000. Approximately 1 in 6 Gazans could have possibly voted for Hamas, but the number is likely lower.

@terrihilder8217 Side? I don't have a side. If anything, I am on the side of all innocents in this...the children, both israeli and palestinian. I'm on the side of these two figuring out how to live together without this happening again.

@AarcWolf They need to stop seeing each other as different (usually based on religious ideology) and recognize the similarities instead.

@dragondaniel0574 Sure, just like 99% of Russians say they support Putin. 🙄 This won't get solved with the same tactics each side has always employed. It may be silenced for awhile, but will boil over again at some time in the future.

@sku36 They have the guns. Who would you support? They also have control of resources, food, medical care and supplies, water, electricity.

@sku36 It's like any controlling entity or government in the world. You can join them or get quashed by them. It just happens on a smaller scale in Gaza. Over 50% are under 18. What are kids going to do against guns?

@mattmarzula What is the majority of the population going to do when a small group holds all the power? And the guns?

@carlrice6973 My point is that 5 out of 6 Gazans did not elect Hamas. You're welcome!

@crystal2484 I believe I explained earlier that 52.6% of all Gazans are under 18. Are you going to hold them responsible for the actions of Hamas? Whatever helps you sleep at night, Crystal.
