Tornado Alley (PROG)

If I'm not mistaken Hamas won 42% of the vote in 2006. Israel tried to get Fatah to oust Hamas in a coup, and it worked out the other way. That was the last time there was an election in Gaza.

Half the residents Gaza weren't even alive in 2006. Obviously many of them wouldn't have been old enough to vote. (Gaza's population is pretty young) We can also assume that not everyone eligible to vote, voted. Of those that did vote, 58% didn't vote for Hamas.

The math says that very few of today's Gazans ever voted for Hamas. Half weren't alive, half of those weren't old enough to vote we're down to 25%. Many didn't vote and of the ones that did 42% voted for Hamas... I'd say less than 1 in 10 current residents of Gaza voted for Hamas. How many of those still would?

The governing coalition in Israel was democratically elected... in the present. Those numbers are quantifiable.
