But there have been no elections in Gaza since 2006 - and when there were, Hamas only won by 44% of the vote. Nobody under 35 voted them in. Everyone under 17 has only known Hamas. To what extent can you argue full responsibility under those circumstances?

Let us presume George Bush decided not to allow any more elections - the Republicans held power from the middle of his term on a small majority. You now have Trump and he’s decided to team up with North Korea and launch a land invasion of China. In return, the Chinese have launched tactical nukes at the Eastern Seaboard. Is this ethical? Would you be happy with a huge percentage of your country to be wiped out under these circumstances - would the average American be responsible for Trump’s policy?
