Do you know what the median age in Gaza was in 2020 (before this recent escalation in genocide)? 18 years old. In my opinion 20 years per election might not be an ideal timescale for a democracy.

It feels a little insane to argue about democracy and representation when it comes to people who have spent their entire lives in an occupied state. It's like pointing out there's a brown spot on your lawn while your house is on fire.

If you read through my replies you'll see me consistently making this point as well.

"Legitimacy" is not a concept that exists in a war zone. The Palestinians are being robbed of the opportunity of legitimate representation by their occupiers.
