Given the last election was in 2006, you'd have to be 35 or over to have ever voted for anyone in Gaza (and that's not even taking into account the 56% of Gazans who did vote in that election but didn't vote for Hamas).

You reap what you sow and unfortunately younger generations suffer for mistakes made by those who came before them, no matter the country they live in. 

At some point the Palestinians thought Hamas was a solution to their Jewish problem. Afghans thought the Taliban were a solution to their specific problem. Both countries allowed these terrorist organizations to come in and govern them and we see the results. 

Choices have consequences.

So, you are ok with girls in Afghanistan being restricted from education at a very young age and staying home being servants to their husbands?  I assume you were ok with Slavery in the US back in the 1800s since that's what the elected officials decided.   I mean, Choices have Consequences and you really seem to be ok with any consequence coming from the choices of the people.
