That means the average person in Palestine during the last election was 2 years old, meaning most people in Palestine currently did not vote for Hamas. Not only that, voter turnout back then was abysmal at best back then.
To make that argument sound even more ridiculous would be to say Americans today (who were not of voting age in the year 2000) are guilty of supporting the Iraq War because George W was voted in back in 2000.
It's a completely stupid argument that carries no value when you actually think about it.

That's fair given those facts.
But why has no new elections been called? Would that be called complacent then?
