Again, why is anyone believing figures provided by a terrorist group?

I don't believe anything the IDF says.

Other than that they promise that Hamas will be a ghost of a memory ..... best you believe in that....

I wish it was true, however, if you believe that you might as well believe in Santa Claus.

My year nine maths is a bit rusty, but I'm pretty sure 74 out of 132 is greater than 50% ..... Professor AK Gerrymander can work it out for you..

Seats don't vote - people do.

Only 44% of the people voted for Hamas, and many of those are dead now.

Moreover, none of the thousands of children that the IDF has murdered were even born back then and many of their parents weren't of voting age.

44 % of the population would equate to 300,000.

the IDF have a long way to go to eradicate the enemy.

Who is fighting against the IDF? Why? What do they hope to achieve? Who arms and supplies them? Why?

hamas.

Don't ignore the pertinent questions, thicko amigo.

Why is Hamas still fighting after 3 months? What do they hope to achieve? Who arms and supplies them? Why?

Why do the supposed majority of non Hamas Palestinians still tolerate Hamas when it is evidently causing them far more harm than Israel did before October.

Certainly not the pregnant women, babies, and children that the IDF is deliberately targeting.

Indeed, and they'll need a DeLorean to do it considering it was almost two decades ago.

Either that or a shovel to dig up all those dead voters.

The VC didn't wear uniforms either (that also gets left out by our progressive friends). Ho Chi Minh was a Mugabe type who posed as an anti-colonial hero but then turned into a murderous POS in power.

As for elections in the Arab world - the only reasonably free one in recent years (Algeria, 1992) led to the election of Islamists, leading to the military getting freaked out and civil war. But I agree with you all that the ungovernability of the Arab world is a problem that the Arabs will have to solve themselves.

Mugabe looked after his supporters and people very well.
It was those who stuck to Britain for support who were left to starve by Britain.
Love Mugabe - you got fed, housed, etc.
Love Britain - you got SFA.

Why did Britain, imposing Sanctions - leave its supporters to wither in Zimbabwe?

...oh yeah, Britain stole the lands from the Shona & Nbele people in the first place.
Mugabe got it back for his people and was labelled a Dictator, etc. Roll Eyes

When will Israel have exacted enough blood to satisfy them?
