      He doesn’t care, he knows that we’re left without another choice, and he’s enjoying the AIPAC money too much

      Young people are divided on Israel/Gaza.

      Asked whether or not they sympathize with various groups involved in the war, we found that majorities of young Americans hold sympathy for the Israeli (52% sympathize) and the Palestinian people (56% sympathize), while they have far less sympathy for their governments (29% sympathize with the Israeli government; 32% with the Palestinian government). Seventeen percent (17%) expressed sympathy toward Hamas; for those who were presented with the information in a split sample that Hamas was an Islamist militant group, sympathy dipped to 13%.

      When young Americans are asked whether or not they believe Israel’s response so far to the October 7 attack by Hamas has been justified, a plurality indicates that they don’t know (45%). About a fifth (21%) report that Israel’s response was justified with 32% believing it was not justified.

        An apparent bug in my instance prevents me from seeing some comments, but I saw yours via the “context” button on replies. Fuck your hive mind shit. Children are being murdered. That has nothing to do with anything other than children being murdered. Suck my ass.

          The point is that some young people are mad about Biden’s policy, some likely support it, but the biggest group isn’t even paying attention.

          Politically, that’s grounds for maintaining the status quo.

        I’d be careful with relying on poll cross tabs on issues of morality. The sample size is usually too small to tell right from wrong.

          Sure, but if Biden is guided by his moral code instead of politics then he has even less reason to care if young people are mad at him.

        This is correct, you are being downvoted for being right but the hive mind on here tends to support terrorism & murder as long as they are Muslim and the victims are not Muslim.

          This, and the opposite “wow feminists and LGBTQ+ people supporting people who would see them dead” are both woefully awful takes.

            Biden should get to work in fulfilling his constituents demands, then.

            You don’t get to use authoritarianism and then claim your opponent is the authoritarian. Terrible things are happening under Biden, but I should make the terrible things keep happening because if I don’t the terrible things will get worse? Americans are fucked.
