I only found one poll measuring 18-24 year olds (Harvard-Harris) and they phrased the questions in a really manipulative way; like you can immediately infer support for Israel would be lower if they didn't force you to pick between "Israel" and "Hamas" (and when you don't even have a "no answer" option, people who are generally pro-Palestine but don't want to openly side with Hamas will just... not answer). And yet pretty surprisingly, half of 18-24 yos sided with Hamas?

All this poll tells me is gen z is relatively based and millennials are also a bit more based than I assumed

A lot of people also aren't falling for it since they remember 01

I'm sure a lot of people can see that, but it's also kinda ironic how people who weren't even old enough to truly remember post-9/11 are far more on the right side of history on this lol

Like I'm 20, no one my age was even born on 9/11 and yet it definitely seems like the majority of people my age support Palestine, and actively supporting Israel almost seems fringe. Meanwhile most 30-35+ year old Americans who should be seeing the parallels seem like proud zionists
