    A higher % of those over 65 support Israel than the % of those under 35 that support Palestine. Those over 65 vote, those under 35 don’t. That last fact is true no matter the country and no matter if there’s a party centered around what younger people want. It makes no political sense to go and cater to people who won’t vote anyway.

        And I get it, it sucks but getting elected depends on getting votes and if there’s a group that doesn’t vote no matter what then it’s no wonder the strategy doesn’t revolve around them.
