First, the reassuring news: Americans’ pro-Israel sentiments remain near an all-time high, according to Pew’s latest numbers, and CNN measures public support for Israel’s recent actions against Hamas at a robust (57/43). Gallup’s latest nationwide survey, however, shows a much closer split on the righteousness of Israel’s defensive military campaign — although only a fractional minority is willing to defend Hamas’ terror campaign:
According to Gallup’s internals, self-identifying Republicans are the primary reason Israel’s actions attract plurality support in this poll. GOP-leaners back Israel’s actions by a whopping 44-point margin; the numbers turn upside-down among independents (-10), and especially Democrats (-16). The cohorts least likely to label Israel’s attacks against Hamas as “justified” are young people (-26), non-whites (-24), women (-11), and people with a high school education or less (-11) — namely, the Democratic coalition. On a not-unrelated note, Americans who are under-informed about the issue tend to break heavily against Israel, whereas those who say they’re following developments at least “somewhat closely” back our democratic ally:
What a neat idea. Take a survey of young people who could neither point to Israel on a map nor provide a single scrap of knowledge of Israel’s history.
They are young and therefore they are awesome in their understanding.
Didn’t HAVE to say “Democratic”.
Once you said “younger, less informed and less educated” that was redundant.
Anecdotally, the fiercest critics of Israel and Jews are left-wing hooligans, and yet Barbara Streisand, et.al. simply love the Democrat Party and their anti-semites.
With the heavy involvement of the Feds in what passes for education these days, this is not a surprise.
I always wonder where were the parents, then I remember they were educated/indoctrinated in the same way. One day reality will bite these morons in the a55.
“Hamas’ action against Israel: 11% Justified”
Obama’s army.
The young are nothing more than attention whore parrots that are spouting what they’ve been told to not realizing that the other people posting that are influencing their decisions are political activists and propagandists. Idiots, they are.
On another thread, the younger generation was identified as being more against Israel.
The younger generation is buying into the enemies of Israel’s propaganda that it’s all Israel’s faultl. That generation doesn’t have the historical background and perspective that the older people have!
Apparatchikic would be much more appropriate.
Well, “DUH!”
Delirious Uneducated Human.
If they’ve gone to college recently, they still fall under the “less educated” category. Thanks SeekAndFind.
They believe everything they are told by the regime.
These are true sheep ripe for the slaughter.
