A majority of young Americans said they believe Israel should “be ended and given to Hamas,” according to a shocking poll.
The survey, conducted THIS WEEK by Harvard-Harris polling, found 51% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 said they believed the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian conflict was for “Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians.” Only 32% said they believed in a two-state solution, and just 17% said other Arab states should be asked to absorb Palestinian populations.
The figure was in stark contrast to other age groups, which all dramatically preferred a two-state solution. Just 4% of Americans 65 and over

I’m skeptical. We don’t know the sample size (it says the total sample is 2,034, but how many are 18-24?).

Something supernatural is happening. Mankind literally has all of humanity’s knowledge literally available at our fingertips. And yet, Christendom is exhibiting mass psychosis. This level of hatred, ignorance, stupidity, intolerance and stupidity has to be due to demonic influence enabled by an increasingly immoral culture. The only answer is that half the population is possessed. Our long term prognosis is even worse.
This ends when the nation/s repent, return to God and beg for his forgiveness.

Has any generation been so easily manipulated? We blame education but what about the responsibility of parents to impart knowledge into their children when they are young? It is our duty to make sure our children know the truth and seek the truth. We might want to admit that ceding our children to the complete brainwashing of higher education was not a good thing.
My mother especially made sure I knew history. She wanted me to know the truth. She was interested in what I was being taught in school and drilled into my head our family values and history. Now that I look back I see she was always ready to teach because she wanted to make sure I could think for myself and understand history. We have to do that for our kids because there are people out there who are dying to shape their thinking. It seems the powers that be set out to dumb down and emotionalize every issue. I honestly do not know if these kids will wake up to the truth that their teachers and “influencers” have lied to them.

To #11 and other Believers: It is worth reading and remembering the final words of the Apostle Peter in Chapter 3, verses 14-18 in his Second Letter.

per 15, parents can't teach what they do not know, or care to learn. We are on at least the 2nd generation of dumbed-down, misinformed, brainwashed sheeple. Remember Walter Krankheit, Dan Blather. The 'long march through the institutions' has probably had its greatest success through public edumacation, greatly aided by the socialistic teachsters' union. Then the Enemedia. With the great replacement well underway, we are just about overwhelmed by Evil.

Those 18-24 Kids are exactly the Ones who should be drafted into the Military right out of High school! Serve Two Years, THEN go to College if you must! They need to be taught love of Country and Pride in Our Military! I'm sick and tired of those "Kids" sitting in a Basement, working on their Laptops and thinking they know everything! They need to GROW UP!

This comes from NOT teaching about WWII and the concentration camps because it was "too violent and graphic" for young minds.

Sure, let's take advice from what is probably the dumbest age group. The problem with people this age is that they think they know more and are smarter than anyone else. This group comprises recent high school graduates and those who are in college or just graduated from college. They're full of knowledge that means absolutely squat in the real world, but they know that yet.

They also don't know about 9/11. And the definitely don't know about the Bible, and that the land was called Judah and its inhabitants were called Jews.

The left's brainwashing of our young people is working. I dare say the pollster neglected to show them the images of decapitated Israeli babies, children who were burned alive, adults who were shot at point-blank range while embracing each other in their last moments alive, and seniors who were dismembered alive on October 7th.

A large majority of the "yutes" do not have personal values of right and wrong absolutes. They often do not think things through when making decisions about cause and effect, and as a result many are bounced around by the 'decisions' they make based on 'feelings' or emotion without rational thought.
They see this issue in terms of what THEY or others who have influenced their thought to be "fair" and "unfair", and see Israel as the OPPRESSOR and the so-called Palestinians as the OPPRESSED or 'good' versus 'evil' Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu is quoted as saying "If Palestinians were to lay down their guns tomorrow, there would be no war. If Israel were to lay down its arms, there would be no Israel".
The Vegetable like many Presidents before him have often tried to create some sort of "Peace deal" or to DICTATE to Israel whatever terms should be followed not by Israel making a self determination. In many "Agreements" that the US State Department (guided heavily by the elitist money people who want to create and shape our World) has tried to put together, those who are hellbent on destruction of Israel try to dictate the terms, but they always fail.
There are a large number of moderate muslin people who live peacefully in Israel and just want to live their lives and be left alone and the warmongers never seem to be happy to just "live and let live".
There has always been a "generation gap" between those who have lived and have perspective based on the knowledge or life's lessons learned in the university of hard knocks, and then there are those who do not have this wisdom of experience who believe that they are somehow more enlightened. They are also the most abused by lack of rational thinking and doing what they are told without question.
There is value in their passion, but they are often misled. As Obi Wan Kenobi said in The Empire Strikes Back-- "your feelings do you credit, but they may be used to serve the Empire." We are STILL seeing the effects of the 2008 national election and the changing moral and cultural values being washed away.

these idiots say that Israel was created in 1948, even as they look forward to their daddies spending thousands of dollars on them to celebrate the birth of a Jew, over 2000 years ago, in Israel.

That majority should be shipped to Palestine to live for a few months to see how well Hamas takes care of it's citizens. Any declarations against Hamas leadership would lead to their death, unlike here where they can spew their ignorant hatred with cheering from the anti-Semites in the neo nazi movement that is the squad.

This is because the majority of Americans 18-24 are brainless fools who get their "news" from corrupt, lying 'internet' propaganda sources and have been indoctrinated in HS and college extremist brainwashing centers, disguised as "schools".

College age snowflakes have always had questionable opinions and beliefs but the current crop is off-the-Bell Curve stupid. They fail to realize that if terrorists eventually win the struggle to rule the civilized world, their useless degrees will also be useless as armor against the islamic savages.

Most Americans 18 to 24 have been indoctrinated by race baiting, left-wing zealots. God help America. What amazes me is why an American woman would side with the misogynist, gender mutilating religion.

Remember ladies and gentlemen these are the young, thick, and numb skulls full of mush that Rush Limbaugh so aptly described. These are the same group of people who racist, plagiaristic leftist Biden supporting parasites like Clausine Gay are in charge of in colleges across our fruited plain. The poor young dumb souls have been brainwashed into siding with a baby killing terrorist organization instead of the only free democracy in the region. It's truly sad when I see clips of the mush heads chanting like mindless drones sayings things like "from the river to the sea." and other nonsense. If these weak-minded fools are the future of my beloved country, then we are truly screwed.
