James Woods advises Jews to arm themselves in response to shocking poll (20% young Americans think Holocaust is myth)

We know that antisemitism is out of control on college campuses, and we just had three university presidents testify that calling for genocide isn't a violation of the code of conduct … it depends on the context, like if a student were to actually start killing Jews. That might be taking it a bit too far. But if you misgender someone on campus, that's "abuse."

We've often asked where these college-age kids developed such a deep antisemitism. We doubt it was from their parents. Is it all indoctrination by university professors? Or is it because they get their news from TikTok?

The Economist recently did a poll and found that one in five young Americans think the Holocaust is a myth. We've seen use of the word "victim-caust," implying that Jews just use the Holocaust to claim victim status when they're really the oppressors.

That's really bad.

A new poll from YouGov/_The Economist_ suggests that Yad Vashem has its work cut out. Young Americans—or at least the subset of them who take part in surveys—appear to be remarkably ignorant about one of modern history’s greatest crimes. Some 20% of respondents aged 18-29 think that the Holocaust is a myth, compared with 8% of those aged 30-44 (see chart). An additional 30% of young Americans said they do not know whether the Holocaust is a myth. Many respondents espouse the canard that Jews wield too much power in America: young people are nearly five times more likely to think this than are those aged 65 and older (28% versus 6%).

Now for the harder part: why do some young Americans embrace such views? Perhaps surprisingly, education levels do not appear to be the culprit. In our poll, the proportion of respondents who believe that the Holocaust is a myth is similar across all levels of education.

Social media might play a role. According to a 2022 survey from the Pew Research Centre, Americans under 30 are about as likely to trust information on social media as they are to trust national news organisations. More recently Pew found that 32% of those aged 18-29 get their news from TikTok. Social-media sites are rife with conspiracy theories, and research has found strong associations between rates of social-media use and beliefs in such theories. In one recent survey by Generation Lab, a data-intelligence company,young adults who used TikTok were more likely to hold antisemitic beliefs.

This is horrific. But it’s not at all surprising, and far from the complete list of horrors resulting from our corrupt education system, the proliferation of social media, and the flight away from God and the classical liberal values of Western Civilization. https://t.co/SB3lXwfTbu

Any Jew in America who doesn't procure firearms and get trained in their use is making the same mistake millions of Jews made in 1930's Germany.

NEVER AGAIN is NOW! Be prepared this time. https://t.co/iPNSD0IytI

It sounds like us, considering the mobs that have formed outside Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadephia and smashed windows and splashed red paint on other businesses that have ties to Israel.

Ditto for Christians

Not a bad idea seeing as the Left has now deemed "Christian nationalism" the new white supremacy. Rob Reiner just put out a trailer for his scary documentary (featuring David French, of course) on the creeping danger of Christian nationalism.

If anyone had ever bothered to study history, since it hasn’t been taught in government schools in decades, they would see unbelievable similarities lining up between now and the 1930’s

Kids think the Holocaust is a myth and yet call everyone they disagree with Hitler.

So true, yet I'm a Jew, well armed and almost all of my Jewish friends still won't arm themselves. Like a Jew voting Democrat, defies all known logic.

Lost generation. This is why history repeats.

My father taught me about the Holocaust when I was a freshman in high school. As parents it's our responsibility to educate our children. If we don't, we shouldn't be surprised at numbers like this.

The Marxist agenda is to keep people ignorant.

Unbelievable how our educational system has failed us in just a few generations.

— Rita MD (@ritaperrellamd) December 9, 2023

And they run around claiming that opposing critical race theory means not teaching slavery in schools. What are schools teaching? We have film of the Holocaust just like we have video from October 7 — it's all Israeli propaganda?

I grew up in a household with one TV and with a father who liked to watch WW2 movies, and TV shows such as “Combat!” and “Twelve O’Clock High” so even as a youngster I was aware of a great struggle that went on not long before I was born and that we were the good guys in it. It was a short hop from there to learning about the Holocaust when I was older.

We don’t have those kinds of historical references in popular culture anymore. Today’s historical knowledge is a combination of garbage and blissful ignorance.

The progressive Left have abandoned all morals and logic. They have become the bottom feeders just like fundamentalists Islam. Archaic sense of justice, fascist dictators and anti-semites.

How many young Americans even know about the Revolutionary War, much less the War of 1812?

Americans don't know their own history, why expect them to know anything about European history?

All they know is that white people colonized and enslaved the world, and stole math from Africa.

The persecution of Jews and other “undesirables” in Germany and German held territories between 1933 and 1945, resulting in the murder of 11 million people, including about 6 million Jews, is the most well-documented, thoroughly sourced series of events in history.

The Holocaust is simply undeniable.

I can’t say with 100% certainty, but I could swear the school mandated us to read the Diary of Anne Frank.

20% young Americans think Holocaust is myth

And from 2022, 2023:

Roughly 21% of Generation Z Americans who have reached adulthood -- those born between 1997 and 2003 -- identify as LGBT - https://news.gallup.com/poll/389792/lgbt-identification-ticks-up.aspx

In a recent Pew Research Center survey, half of 18- to 29-year-olds in the United States say they have some or a lot of trust in the information they get from social media sites

60% of 956 respondents who gave a definitive answer the question whether they believe in absolute truth, expressed a belief in absolute truth, while 40% said each person determines their own version of the truth. - https://www.christianpost.com/news/majority-of-young-americans-say-there-is-no-absolute-truth-poll.html

The Spring 2023 Harvard Youth Poll surveyed 2,069 young Americans between 18- and 29-years old and was conducted between March 13 and 22, 2023. ..nearly half of young Americans (48%) have felt unsafe in the past month, with 40% worried about falling victim to gun violence. Trust in the Supreme Court to “do the right thing” has fallen by ten percentage points over the last decade, while less than half of young Americans feel like their local police department makes them safer. Nearly half (47%) of Americans under the age of 30 report “feeling down, depressed, or hopeless,” and 24% have considered self-harm at least several days in the last two weeks. - https://iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/45th-edition-spring-2023

Under 40 percent of Americans said patriotism was very important to them, and a similar share said the same about religion. In 1998, when the publication first asked about these values, 70 percent of Americans felt patriotism was very important, and 62 percent felt that way about religion. - https://thehill.com/changing-america/enrichment/arts-culture/3920015-fewer-americans-prioritizing-hard-work-patriotism-religious-faith-poll/

In Israel, it is Never Again II since they had disarmed all their citizens.

I have read that their government took all the long guns out of the hands of their citizens a few months before the massacre. This is similar to how the US pilots were disarmed just a few months before the 911 massacre. How badly are the governments compromised?
