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.
Guess I’m Hamas now 🤷♀️
Why not the Israel-Palestine conflict? It’s almost like they tried to bake prejudice into the question…
On one hand the framing is off. But on the other hand the question is pretty much correct. Because anyone choosing Israel over the resistance is against Palestinians.
This question showcases actual support of Palestine in solution, not platitudes.
The question “Do you support equality in South Africa” is a lot different than “Do you support the ANC” (which fought for the equality against the Apartheid).
Seriously, its such blatant propaganda to call it the “Hamas-Israel war” (it should be the Gaza-Israel war, or the Hamas-Likud war), and yet basically every western outlet does it.
I’m no expert in journalism but this survey seems intentionally misleading
