6. ...are legally children...
Palestinians become adults at 18. "Suffrage is extended to all Palestinians above the age of 18."

http://www.pogar.org/countries/index.asp?cid=14

If Hamas doesn't recognise it, then why hasn't that bit of law been scrapped, pelsar?

Also yr wrong claiming that 18 is a 'cultural thing' in the West:

In the modern world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, legal adult age is 18. Exceptions:

16: Scotland
17: Indonesia
19: South Korea
20: Japan

Yep, those darn Chinese and their 'western colonial mindsets' Guess it's a cultural thing, eh? ;)
