...Noah already highlighted the Harvard/Harris poll showing a slight majority of younger Americans siding with Hamas, but I wanted to flag another eye-opening finding in the survey: A statistically significant group of them who describe the October 7 attacks as “genocidal” nonetheless support them.
Specifically, when asked, “Do you think that the attacks on Jews were genocidal in nature or not genocidal?” 62 percent of respondents aged 18 to 24 said yes. However, when asked, “Do you think the Hamas killing of 1200 Israeli civilians in Israel can be justified by the grievances of Palestinians or is it not justified?” a 51 percent to 49 percent majority said the attacks were justified.
To repeat: Sixty-two percent say the attacks were genocidal, but only 49 percent say the genocide against Jews wasn’t justified.
Unfortunately, it was not limited to this age group.
Among 25- to 34-year-olds, 71 percent said the attacks were genocidal, but only 52 percent said they weren’t justified; among 35- to 44-year-olds, 72 percent said they were genocidal compared to 61 percent who said they weren’t justified.
Only after age 45 do the numbers start to become more rational, with more people saying the attacks weren’t justified than saying they were genocidal.
There are two ways to interpret this finding. One is to think there are millions of Americans who are okay with genocide against the Jews. Another explanation is that there are millions of people who don’t know what “genocidal” means.
Or, as Sonny Corleone put it, “Did you go to college to get stupid?“
Palestinian educators who instilled the fierce hatred that made such brutality likely should be tried as war criminals.
They are just as guilty as Josef Goebbels.
It surprising how many morons calling themselves Americans are also some of the biggest azhos on the planet.
Many activists and academics over the past few years said that racism and oppression won't end until white people cease to exist.
Why are Jews surprised that leftists feel the same way about Jews?
The left isn't singling out Jews. The left is simply treating Jews like any other whites.
It’s what happens when radicals take over the “education system”....they have no sense of right and wrong and they place no value on human life.
Marxism has no love for Islam.
American ‘Marxists’ are really just power and money hungry people without productive talent.
Pedo Joe and the Democrats supporting the next Jewish holocaust!
sick and disgusting, especially coming from the promoters of microaggressions!
It wasn’t just the teachers. Hatred pervades the entire society.
A clear example of using reason and your own mind to determine right from wrong. The American way is to let people decide for themselves which is why it worked so well (and took so long for Collectivists to corrupt it).
“How could the Germans allow the Holocaust to happen?”
By fear-mongering, by threats of violence, by violent force, by deadly force, by any means necessary.
Actually, three ways.
The USA age 18-24 cohort is close to 50% non-white.
In recent USA Presidential elections...
Young Blacks - vote 90%-95% Democrat
Young Hispanics - vote 65%-70% Democrat
Young Asians - vote 65% Democrat
Young White Females - vote 55% Democrat
Young White Males - vote 40%-45% Democrat
I gave some serious thought to your suggestion that cognitive dissonance and schizophrenia are related or the same. I’ve dealt with two schizophrenics. A schizophrenic by himself can function. But combine him with societal interactions and his craziness is easily spotted. It might be that the liberal doctor I know who can simultaneously support Hammas and their cruelty and admit Israel has a right to exist may be a schizophrenic on a spectrum like an autistic man. The result for me is I give them both a wide berth.
Which is an incredibly racist thing to say.
Racism won’t die when whites are gone because racism exists in the left, such as these folks who hate whites.
The fun would be watching the squirming of people who say that the attack was genocidal and yet support it anyways.
Confronting them that that means they support genocide. Let them explain that away.
Is this a conclusion you have reached based on actually knowing people who are Marxists...or is this based on what you have read or studied in books and articles?
“ Religion provides a short cut. The trouble is this: was your particular religion actually written by God? ”

Here’s a hint: if your religion requires you to hate (much less murder) or enslave everyone who believes differently than you, it wasn’t written by God…and you need a new religion.
“ By fostering fierce hatred, Palestinian educators make it impossible to resolve those grievances.”

For those leading them, this is a feature and not a bug.
You mean like Dresden or Tokyo? Who did that?
