Both sides elect people that are OK with their people dying for their own government policies. One attacks to oppress an apparant enemy, the other attacks to free themselves from oppression. They are not the same, yet innocent people suffer and die because of both.

More than half of the people alive in Palestine were too young to vote in their last election.

@Szymon I agree with this apart from the "elect" part. Hamas last won an election in 2006, with less than half the vote.

Gaza hasn't held an election in over 17 years and the majority of its population are too young to have voted then.

Meanwhile all citizens just want to live their lives in peace.

It really is tragic and frustrating.

There has not been an election by Palestine in Gaza for roughly 17 years. Hamas isn't exactly democratic.
