Analysis of Gaza's Political Situation

Some people get upset when you say Gaza is occupied.

You be like, "Gaza is occupied." They're like, "No." "Well,

then what is it?"

They're like, "Well, it's a blockade and a siege." Like,

that sounds much worse,

okay? Maybe just stick with occupied.

Israel left Gaza. The Palestinians voted for Hamas.

Let's unpack that statement. They voted for Hamas, all of them,

even the babies

crawled down to the polls- -scribbled in Hamas,

got their little green

lollipop, and went home. Half of Gaza's population is under 18,

okay?

Because of the high birth rate.

So yes, this is partially true. Also, because refugees have been pushed out from

other parts of the region into Gaza, that's why there's a lot of people there.

But yes, the Gaza birth rate is high.

Some people often say it's only one or the other. It's actually both.

Palestinians be doing it. Uh, so half of the population is under 18.

We already know that less than 50% of them voted 'cause it was one election, and it

was in 2006. Do you remember who you voted for in 2006?

No, 'cause it was a midterm year. Nobody gives a , right?

Nobody remembers who was on the ballot in 2006.

Let's unpack this trope even more.

If you look at the statistics, half of the population isn't even of

voting age now,

meaning like 75% of the population wasn't even voting age then.

40% of the people who showed up to vote that day voted for Hamas.

Let's say 80% of the voting population showed up, so that's 20% of the total

population now, and 40%. What's 40% of 20%?

Come on. You may not be on their side. You gotta be on the side of math. It's 8%.

At most, 8% of the people living in Gaza voted for

Hamas.

So do you understand how up it is to say they voted for Hamas

when literally it was

just 8% who voted for Hamas? Right?

Let's think about that. Where are you from, by the way? Okay, yeah.

San

Diego.

That's a lot to unpack.

Right?
