Elder of Ziyon
Taken at the end of October, the survey found that 22% of students sympathize with Hamas.
Not Gazans, not Palestinian civilians - Hamas.
More than one in five college students sympathize with an explicitly genocidal terror group that openly slaughtered, raped, burned, kidnapped and injured thousands of Jews.
We have a big problem on American campuses. Supporting Hamas is as morally reprehensible as supporting Nazis. Both have openly genocidal agendas for all Jews. This is a massive failure of our educational system, of parents, and of the media.
Speaking of, a vast majority of these students - 86% - get their news about the conflict from social media, far more than from news articles (68%). While about 75% consider themselves as least somewhat knowledgeable about the conflict, only 6% have ever read a book about it.
This is part of the problem. They are learning about the conflict from TikTok..
The poll also indicated that a huge majority of Jewish college students feel less safe on campus since the October 7 massacre, while nearly all Muslim college students felt just as safe as beforehand. While the sample sizes were small, 14 out of 18 Jewish students surveyed felt less safe on campus, while only one out of 14 Muslim students felt that way.
Perhaps the Jews feel less safe because they know that in any random classroom of 30 students, an average of 6 of their classmates have sympathy for a group that wants to see every Jew worldwide murdered.

The survey was conducted by Pollfish using an interesting methodology that should be very accurate for college students (I don't think it would be accurate for older people.)
