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 Oh, their annual census is out of date?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.
Funny how most who argue in favor of Israel use assumptions and knee-jerk reactions while most who don’t cite statistics and most uncharitably, regurgitate real historical events. Publicly aired discussions on the matter are sleep parody. On one side you have the world’s top holocaust scholars and journalists who have covered the region for years, if not decades and on the other you have talking heads and maybe a twitch streamer or internet personality. Then they make the implication that both sides are equally qualified to speak on the matter. I’m convinced the likes of Pierce Morgan are actually pro-Palestine figures with how bad they make their side look. If I didn’t know better, I’d have to think there isn’t many credible arguments you can make in defense of Israel or something
