(TrueTrendNews.com) – A new poll revealed that Generation Z views Israel as an oppressor to Hamas and Palestine because of the Jewish state’s power over its opponents.
On Monday April 22, the Christian organization Summit Ministries released the results of a survey conducted by RMG Research which sought to understand the overwhelmingly anti-Israel response of America’s young adults. The poll comes more than six months after the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas massacred more than a thousand innocents in Israeli towns on October 7, 2023.
The attack sparked an immediate military response from the Jewish nation, which has vowed not to cease its counter attacks until Hamas is eliminated. Thousands of Palestinians have been killed and displaced in the offensive strikes from Israel, leaving many young Americans to take a stand with Palestine and world leaders to issue warnings to Israel to avoid engaging in genocidal tendencies as the war rages on.
The poll asked respondents if they “believe” the financial and military superiority of Israel makes its attacks “against Hamas unjust.” Results showed that 58% of American voters do not agree with the statement while 42% of Gen Z participant—aged 18-24—do believe Israel’s attacks are going too far.
47% of this demographic disagreed with the justification of the Jewish nation’s actions based on its retaliatory and destructive intent and 11% indicated they are not confident about the motivation.
Summit Ministries President Dr. Jeff Myers said in a statement that the results epitomize them, which has resorted to teaching students that the world ought to be viewed in a “lens of racialist resentment.” He added that Gen Z is also “embarrassed” to be American citizens, leading “a large swath” of them to be what Myers described as “terrorist sympathizers.”
The poll results were released in the aftermath of a massive student protest held at Columbia University, which led to the arrest of more than 100 individuals advocating to liberate Palestine and resulted in the Ivy League university cancelling in-person classes on Monday.
