As for the 'suck on that' comment, I was pointing out that people should be careful what they wish for when they vote. Hamas was voted into power, so they bear some responsibility for where we are now.

“Collateral damage” isn’t expelling 1 million people from their homes, turning off water, electricity and blocking aid from Egypt.

Remains fundamentally flawed. You’ve been told that the vast majority of people in Gaza are too young to have voted in that election before. You’ve been told that of those who were eligible a majority voted for someone else.
If you can’t integrate reality into your own “insight” then I can’t help you.
