Do Students Support Hamas Because They Are Ignorant?

It is your job to educate yourself on matters before opening your big yap.

If you are too lazy to do so then shut up.

Go give your opinion on what ever brain dead show you sit slack jawed in front of.

The students havent been taught how to think and they’ve been lied to.

I watched a podcast guy interview college students (California) and ask routine history questions (who won the Civil War, who were the AXIS in WW II, etc).

Maybe 20-percent knew the answers....rest had no idea. Somehow, they are skipping high school history, and getting zero history out of the college period. In some way, they are probably dumber at age 20, than they were at age 10.

That’s the right thing to do. But, the generation who hangs out on Tik Tok are the ones mindlessly following every liberal trend.

Moronic useful idiots have taught them all their lives.

[SaxxonWoods]

Ignorant, and brainwashed with insane ideas.

The answer to that question is yes.

[No name given]

Yes, sadly.

[No name given]

Unfortunately.

It’s very sad and unfortunate. Hopefully the real world will set them straight, but if not, oh well.

[metmom]

No, because they are evil.

Even ignorance cannot justify supporting the atrocities that hamas perpetrated on Oct 7.

[nutmeg]

Frightening. I fear for the future of the United States with idiots like this coming up to replace us...

It seems to have started in the late 1960s when fedgov began to take over education.

“It seems to have started in the late 1960s when fedgov began to take over education.”

By that I meant the shift to the far left, of which support for Hamas is the latest manifestation. Happens to everything fedgov touches, eventually.

The same forces & philosophy say both the US & Israel are white Europeans that exist on stolen land with no right to exist.

Binds the nations forever.

What happens to Israel will happen to the U

"When college students who sympathize with Palestinians chant “From the river to the sea,” do they know what they’re talking about? I hired a survey firm to poll 250 students from a variety of backgrounds across the U.S. Most said they supported the chant, some enthusiastically so (32.8%) and others to a lesser extent (53.2%).

But only 47% of the students who embrace the slogan were able to name the river and the sea.

Boomers tell me they were taught this geography in Junior High School.

Before social media, the young were living a material life engaging with others and learning to listen and cooperate. The political media (cable news & rags) wasn’t much of an interest to them; they were generally living healthy apolitical (or mildly political) lives. But these days with social media, all that’s unfortunately changed. The likelihood of finding channels that support and reinforce one’s puerile ideals is infinitely greater than before. And although one could make the case for free information, another could argue against the SM parallels to an addictive drug.
