A new survey has revealed a sharp generational split in United States attitudes towards Israel’s war on Gaza, with younger voters showing unprecedented support for Hamas as Israel carries out a genocide.
The poll, conducted by The Harris Poll and HarrisX between 20 and 21 August among 2,025 registered voters, asked respondents: “In the Israel-Hamas conflict, do you support more Israel or more Hamas?”
Sixty percent of voters aged 18–24 expressed greater support for Hamas, in stark contrast to older demographics, where backing for Israel rose steadily: 65 percent among ages 25–34, 70 percent among ages 35–44, 74 percent among ages 45–54, 84 percent among those aged 55–64, and 89 percent of voters over 65.

I wish that were true. I’ve been thinking about this. While eq may well be a part of IQ, clever people really need not have it, but merely be able to mimic it convincingly. I think for every Cluster B personality doing heinous things caught and segregated from society, dozens more are integrated into it. For example genociders and their supporters, alleged CEO murderers and CEOs.
There’s always the argument that there’s a difference between cleverness and manipulativeness, but if one can fake emotion well enough to orchestrate manipulativeness for decades or centuries, is that not some sort of cleverness?
Remember survival of the fittest doesn’t depend on mere intelligence alone, but adaptability. So it’s an interesting thought experiment.
