I suspect you assume this somehow justifies the atrocities committed by Israel
No, and don't write things like this here.

The election was 20 years ago, with a population that is overwhelmingly very young.
In my country the political landscape was very different 20 years ago.

True, see my comment to you upthread (I think).
It doesn't matter whose talking point it is. Hamas was elected fair and square in proper democratic elections. They are the only legitimate authority in Gaza. Those are the facts on the ground and there is no world where it makes sense to ignore this.
I suspect you assume this somehow justifies the atrocities committed by Israel, along the lines of Isaac Herzog's comment about innocent civilians in Gaza [1] but that's just nuts. We're not going to ignore reality because a bunch of blood-crazed fascists are trying to twist it to their needs.
