Majority of US Jewish teens 'sympathize with Palestinians': Survey
A majority of Jewish teenagers in the United States say they sympathize with Hamas, and the people of Palestine, more than a year into Israel’s genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, a survey has found.
A poll conducted by Israel's Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Anti-Semitism found that 66 percent of teens—between the ages of 14 and 18— sympathize with the people of Palestine.
About 36.7 percent said they “sympathize with Hamas.”
According to the survey, this number increases when the age group is limited to 14 years old, as 60 percent of this age group say they sympathize with the Palestinian resistance movement.
And more than 41 percent of respondents say they believe that the regime of Israel was "committing genocide" in the besieged Gaza Strip, the poll indicated.
The poll findings have sparked anger in Tel Aviv, with Israel’s Diaspora Affairs minister Amichai Chikli calling for strengthening “the bonds between Jewish teens in the diaspora and Israel.”
The survey comes more than a year after Israel launched its devastating campaign of death and destruction in Gaza. The regime’s military forces have killed more than 44,000 people, including women and children.
President Joe Biden of the United States stands accused of being complicit in Tel Aviv's war crimes in Gaza, as he has so far denied ending his administration's military assistance to the Tel Aviv regime.
