I would also like to point out that just like the current Israeli administration, Hamas was democratically elected. So enough people agreed with their policies to put them in that position. Again, I actually know a few Palestinians, they’re good people, but I also understand that it’s pretty difficult for someone who has lost people close to them to to differentiate between the Palestinians who killed their sister because she was a Jew and the ones who didn’t. Again I’m not supporting genocide here.
They were “elected” before most of the population in Gaza was even born.
The current genocidal Israeli leadership was also democratically elected, and very recently at that, and their approval rating has only increased. What does that say about the majority of Israelis? Why do they deserve your sympathy if the Palestinians don’t because of who they voted for?

Just because people have the right to vote doesn’t make them intelligent and informed voters. People vote based upon information they have, and 1930s Germany was rife with propaganda. Half the people are dumber than average, and they all vote too.

Care to clarify this BTW?
Hitler was elected too.
