Why are young people so pro-Palestine?

[AFCKing4500]

Why are this generation of young people so pressed about Palestine?

The younger generation in the 2000s and 1990s and even 80s weren't so pressed...

Why this Gen Z cohort? Why? What's in it for them?

[Dave22reborn]

Why did I have to go to class on 9/11 and 9/12 in 2001, and they had classes canceled over an election?

[BalkanPrince]

Because they see alternative media on the web and real life videos that do not come from the Zionist vermin who spent the last 60 years indoctrinating the boomers with control of hollywood and media.

Good for them, maybe if we keep this up we can free our country from Zionist globohomo in a decade or so.

[homersexual]

BalkanPrince is right. We didn't have the luxury of the internet and independent journalists who were free from the clutches of the jewish agenda. Everyone is starting to realize that no matter how often our media and politicians point the finger at "evil foreign dictators" the sad truth is that our country is guilty of the same or much worse. We need to mind our manners, take care of our own citizens and tell Israel to fukc off.

[TonyTriangles]

Because hating Jews is now fashionable.

[dakensta]

I think it's not so much that they're pro palestine, but more anti-innocent civilians being bombed the crap out of by an overwhelmingly more powerful nation for no good reason. (like there's a good reason to do that, but YMMV) Young people are like that. When they get older, they'll learn that faraway brown people being blasted into ground beef is not as important as their 401k, gas prices, and brown people having the UNMITIGATED GALL to sing at the Super Bowl.

Now, lol you don't know your history.

[jakedel]

There's a reason they are going after tik tok. It's hard to suppress the truth. The world is finally seeing the pig dog douche bag parasitic cocksucker scum Israelis for what they are.

[PimpinisEasy]

Social media... We can all see the endless videos of Israeli crimes... Jews can't control social media.

[Dave22reborn]

Those same young people can't even name three countries outside the US, believe in a million genders, don't know where Israel is on a map, don't know how many states there are, believe that Africa is a country, etc.

[isingmodel]

They always have leaned way more pro-Pali than older generations. The perception of supporting an oppressed underdog etc.

However this war the 1) scale of destruction is far higher than in previous escalations and 2) they are getting live feed footage to their social media pages 24/7

Dave is the top Israeli firster on the forum.

Just no.
globohomo is only going to become worse as Gen Z's begin to become the majority in the work force.

Maybe, back in October 2001, I was taking some political science class in college, and our professor showed us Al Jazeera, the whole class started laughing, and it was a pretty diverse class.

[frankdtank20]

Why? Oppressor, oppressed narrative that Gen Z has been taught to see the world through. History, context, nuance are tossed in the garbage for a simplistic, ignorant binary.

Then why are so many gen z still liberals supporting Biden

[azzspankr]

The Liberals told them what to think

^this.

I read, ok skimmed an article, where the author, pretty sure was jewish, was trying to give cover for the protestors claiming they are only protesting Israel/jews,because they are mistakenly linking jews as being white colonizers...who obviously are the real enemy.

[OGfrom06]

Oligarchic Media Control just doesn't work on them

Generation Z doesn't even know Jack **** about their US history, unless they served in the military, so why would we expect them to know about Middle Eastern History?

[6gorillion]

Why do they side with the people who have had their lands pillaged by a foreign entity and not with the side that air strikes toddlers.... hmm.

[lasher]

Because they have tiktok brainrot

[TheJimmyRustler]

What's stranger is that many of the most vocal supporters would be the ones talking about how borders are inherently -ist or -phobe, that they're "citizens of the world" etc....and yet they're hell-bent on a Palestinian nation state being created.

Very strange.

Why this Gen Z cohort? Why? What's in it for them?

The general population noticed to much about the coin people

In this case, oppressor/oppressed is an accurate description.

What's the history/context/ nuance here?

[PimpinisEasy]

You didn't disagree with what I said.

As per usual you just generalise in a simplistic manner... I know you're sensitive about people who don't support Israel... But have you really examined why you do?
