The United States is a politically polarized country. But when it comes to views of what's happening in Israel, partisanship has nothing on age.
A new Pew Research Center poll is the second in the past week to show a huge generational split on the current conflict in Gaza. While all age groups north of 30 years old clearly blame Hamas more than Israel for the current violence, young adults buck the trend in a big way. Among 18 to 29-year olds, 29 percent blame Israel more for the current wave of violence, while 21 percent blame Hamas.
Young people are more likely to blame Israel than are Democrats, who blame Hamas more by a 29-26 margin. Even liberal Democrats are split 30-30. The only other major demographic groups who blame Israel more than Hamas are African Americans and Hispanics.

Yep...some good new there. Hopefully Season 2 will have more action, though, otherwise I don't see too many .commers sticking with it.

Those people with limited knowledge and interest, college educated leftists, and minorities other than Jews are annoyed at Israel. This explains why young people are annoyed at Israel. And the policies of liberal Jews promotes this shift away from Israel. Liberal Hollywood and the liberal media support ignorance. Leftist education creates a leftist elite hostile to Israel. Immigration imports people hostile to Israel.
It will be the fault of American Jews when America turns away from Israel.

Schools don’t teach, they indoctrinate, after carefully washing the brain of all reality.
