If you haven't been worried by the reactions of so many American students, professors, and university presidents over the Hamas terror attacks against Israel on October 7, then maybe you haven't been paying attention.
Antisemitism has run rampant on many campuses, and when three top school heads appeared before Congress, they failed to condemn "protesters" who were harassing Jewish students, shouting "intifada revolution," and calling for the extermination of the entire country.
But the news about the poison being spread in our system of higher education just keeps getting more disturbing as a new Harvard-Harris poll shows that an astonishing 51 percent of American youth aged 18-24 indicated support "For Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians."
Astonishing.
Illustrating the huge opinion gap between different generations, only four percent of people over 65 agreed with wiping the entire country off the map.
Meanwhile, the youngsters think Israelis are the bad guys in their war against Hamas terrorists:
67% of people aged 18-24 in this Harvard-Harris poll view JEWS—not Zionists, not the Israeli government, but specifically Jews, all Jewish people—as a class of OPPRESSORS!!
This is the new form of antisemitism.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.

When you count people of every age, the number drops to 19 percent -- still almost a quarter of those polled -- who think Israel should be ended. There are many more questions in this survey, but there are some that truly stand out in their insane results: for instance, 24 percent of 18-24 years deny that Hamas committed rapes and other crimes against women.
It's one thing to have an opinion, but these young people are flat-out denying proven facts.
Sec. of State Blinken: Hamas Sexual Violence ‘Beyond Anything That I’ve Seen’
Meanwhile, 76 percent in the younger age bracket believe Hamas "can be negotiated with to create peace," despite the fact that they're a governmental entity/terrorist group who have gone on record stating their main goal in life is to kill Israelis. Kind of hard to negotiate with folks like that.
Even more answers continued to show that the 18-24 generation has apparently lost their collective minds:
Harvard-Harris results are worse than you think for 18-24 year olds.
-60% said 10/7 attack can be justified by Palestinian grievances
- 79% support ideology of white ppl as oppressors
- 67% support ideology of Jews as oppressors
Numbers are flipped for every other age group.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) expressed his dismay:
These individuals siding with evil over democracy should be a wake-up call.
Ideological rot among young Americans, driven by woke values and victim culture, has gotten so bad they’ve convinced themselves to sympathize with actual terrorists who hate America.
Pollster Mark Penn teamed up with former New York City Councilmember Andrew Stein to write an editorial saying that "our youth are misguided, not evil":
The truth is that false narratives have been allowed to fester and sink into large numbers of Generation Z students...
What could possibly be driving this high level of support for Hamas?
At the core, our high schools and universities have failed to teach our young people even the most basic facts, leading them to support a movement they would never back if they were grounded in reality.
Gen Z has a fundamentally misguided picture of what Hamas and Israel are and how they treat different peoples.
These numbers are profoundly disturbing and show just how broken our educational system has become, and how many formerly venerable institutions are rife with poisonous ideology. We knew it was there, but the Hamas attacks exposed just how deeply infected college life has become. The pushback must start now, and it must be strong, or we are all going to be in big trouble.
This generation is going to grow up, after all -- and many from its ranks will end up at the levers of power in education, government, and business. That is a truly terrifying thought.

The problem is that an enormous percentage of teachers at all levels are ignoramuses following the dictates of communists who form their students into ignoramuses following the dictates of communists.
“Skulls full of mush.” 🙄
Opinions are cheap.
I think terrorist sympathizers should be ended.
Bet the majority in that age group think America should be eliminated as well.
Harvard-Harris poll...Really? Because media always selling lies, I don't buy their stats. This has been a public service announcement.
Public schools need to be closed. They are teaching lies and hatred. They are propaganda mills of pure evil and intentional ignorance.
Stop saying the kids are NOT evil. All humans are born into sin and must be TAUGHT to follow the righteous path set forth by Almighty God.
No child has to be taught to be bad. They must be taught to behave themselves and respect others.
Send them to Gaza.
You’re most likely correct.
My thoughts exactly.
Israel differs. They have nukes on subs, nukes on air craft, and missiles. They will not go quietly in the night. You can destroy if lucky the aircraft and missiles which is not likely. The submarines will destroy you with nuclear fire.
Other than direct from government, is there anything to trust less?
Cui bono? (who gains) from this fal$e poll?
The majority of Americans aged 18 to 24 don’t know how to start a lawnmower. Eff them.
Critical Race Theory has succeeded. America is on a downward trajectory. Wait until the parents are seen as oppressors of their children.
This is why the intelligentsia in the Ivy League among others couldn’t condemn Hamas or the calls to eradicate Israel. They believe, falsely, that Israel was created on land stolen from Arabs. So they argue about “genocidal context”. They don’t necessarily want Jews mass murdered, but insofar as genocide means driving the Jews from their land, deep down inside they think it’s “the right thing to do” to correct what they falsely perceive to be an historical injustice.
This is DEI dogma gone mad. And note it’s no skin off their teeth to agree to displace 9 million Israelis. But would they give up their land in Massachusetts to the Mahicans? Would they favor letting ethnic Russian provinces in Ukraine secede and join Russia?
I notice some curious data notes that say “No opinion” was removed as a possible response on November 21. Could that be because most of the 2000+ registered voters in that age group are illiterate idiots?
I really doubt that most of the respondents in the group advocating the position could even make change for a dollar if a calculating cash register weren’t involved.
History is no longer taught and slowly being erased.
Furthermore, The Stupid Party refuses to release the tapes of the October 7th massacre on the grounds that they are “too graphic.” Tough. Sometimes reality ain’t pretty.
It’s about forging more obamanites.
