It means you're trying to bait me with a provocative statistic. Two can play at that game. What does it mean to you that Israel is bombing a population which comprises over 40% children under the age of 14[1]?

I'm not trying to bait you. I'm asking why you would claim that "we" don't support Hamas, when it seems as if "we" do. But to answer your question, it seems like an unfortunate necessity, which is entirely Hamas' fault.

  It's really wild how you didn't even try to deny what I said. Somehow, raining bombs on a civilian population that is half children and teenagers is an "unfortunate necessity". For all the heated rhetoric and media interviews and videos of flaming wreckage I've seen thus far, nothing has given me such a crystal-clear sense that those who defend Israel's actions in Gaza do not view Palestinians as human beings. As for why I dispute the claim that 51% of us 18-to-25-year-old Americans support Hamas? Great question. Why indeed should I bother to dispute anything at all with someone who openly supports collective punishment? Clearly, if you don't give a shred of consideration to the Geneva Convention, it's stupid of me to act like you'd have any greater respect for me. What do I know other than dozens of other people my age?

    You've written a lot but said very little. Paragraph 1 is entirely indignation without any substance. Paragraph 2 is evading the question. Don't know why you wasted the time writing this if you don't even wanna talk to me. Makes this look like the cope of someone with the depth of a puddle. Guess you're the subject of the article, huh? Fully propagandized by TikToks of goofy leftists and scary war footage.
