To be fair, the line about people in Gaza today not having voted for Hamas is a pretty blatant ordering of facts in order to prove a point not supported by those facts.
The lack of an election simply tells you that you don’t have an election to tell you what people think. It certainly does not tell you that 75% of Gazans don’t support Hamas, which is always the inference dangled by those who raise this point.
There are other ways of determining levels of support for Hamas in Gaza. Interviewing Gazans is a decent one. I don’t see too many of them willing to denounce Hamas.
