I find it interesting that 60% of zoomers support US intervention but half that is people who think America should be backing Hamas

These might be the most biased poll questions I've ever seen

ISR16: Do you think the recent attack on Israel was intended to provoke war and instability in the Middle East or not?

Wtf does this even mean? They attacked Israel simply because they want to see the world burn?

ISR24: Some people say Hamas and Israel both have fairly equally just causes. Others says that there is no moral equivalency between the terrorist murders of Hamas and the actions of Israel. Which is closer to your view?

"Terrorist murders" vs "actions"

ISR25: Do you think Hamas is supported by the majority of Palestinians in Gaza or is Hamas a terror group that rules the people of Gaza with force and fear and is not supported by them?

ISR26: Does Hamas hiding among civilians in Gaza show it has no interest in the safety and well-being of Palestinian citizens of the Gaza Strip, using them as human shields, or is Hamas being protected by the citizens of Gaza?

"Hamas are a bunch of sick twisted fucks who murder their own children for clout. Do you think they're well respected?"

ISR31: Given that US intelligence and Israeli intelligence have said and shown evidence that the hospital explosion was caused by an off-course terrorist rocket do you think the explosion was caused by an Israeli airstrike or by a terrorist rocket that went off course?

61% of 18-24 year olds here said Israel caused the hospital airstrike (compared to 10% of 65+)

ISR32: Do you think that the original declarations by Hamas that Israel bombed the hospital were true or Hamas propaganda?

42% of 18-24 year olds here said Israel caused the hospital airstrike, a 19% decline. I guess the loaded language in the previous question wasn't enough, they had to bring out the "Hamas propaganda" line

Tbh when you force people to choose between Israel and Hamas without even having a "no answer" option most people are gonna be afraid of choosing Hamas, especially when you frame them as genocidal baby beheading rpist terrorists in your prior questions. But half of any western demographic saying they support Hamas is genuinely pretty surprising, this just means a fairly worded poll on Israel v Palestine would have a clear anti-zionist majority for young people

Do you think the Hamas killing of 1200 Israeli civilians on Israel can be justified by the grievances of the Palestinians?

18-24: 51% justified

Haha holy shit

2% of the combined wealth of 75 million people is a whole fucking lot. One dude with as much money as 1.5 million average income millennials combined

When I was in middle school my brother was pissed at me so he replaced every piece of paper in all of my folders with pages of manga he ripped out of my one punch man book

My high school sex ed never taught anything gay or anal. So I knew to wear a condom with my first girlfriend, but until I was a freshman in college (a year ago..) I didn't realize it's important to wear one with a guy too. First gay experience, we'd been seeing each other for a month and I thought I was pretty ready, sock on the dorm door and everything, but then bro asked me if I had a condom and I was like "huh?" And obviously I didn't so he just gave me head instead

For whatever reason I thought condoms only helped in vaginal sex, since that's the only thing they taught its use for. Didn't really know how gay and bi men prevent STIs other than monogamy and a few other assumptions. Part of that stupidity was probably just me being optimistic and horny brained about not having to wear anything

Gaza's nearly 50% people under 18 actually. The 40% number is for people under 15

Headline is a bit misleading. From the AP:

He said Israeli leaders needed to “step up their game” and referred to Hezbollah, the group Israel fears may launch a large-scale attack from the country’s north, as “very smart.” In an interview that aired Thursday, he added to his criticism, saying Netanyahu “was not prepared” for the deadly weekend incursion from Gaza.

Lmao according to that article he has personal beef with Netanyahu for acknowledging Biden's win? Anyways, I went to his truthsocial and he's only posting extreme Zionist stuff. He even has a couple videos going in about how he's the "only president that can protect Israel, no one else will"

His base hates Israel because they hate Jews.

Do they hate Israel? I mean, Trump was always a staunch Zionist, and quite a lot of anti-semites support Israel's existence because they want Jewish people separate and away from from the west (and also, they're even more Islamophobic than they are antisemitic)

They want protestors to be quiet and in the distance. God forbid they inconvenience people to get their voices heard

The Telegraph is the only one reporting this, we're supposed to believe a sensationalist conservative tabloid?

I'm a zoomer and my middle & high school had us do a large majority of stuff on a computer, so my handwriting kinda sucks now

whenever I use pen & paper now, I look at what I wrote and realize I still have the handwriting of a fucking 12 y/o. I also type a lot faster than I write

The far left eating its own

Dude, blajah is as liberal as most instances here. Their top community literally has a banner that says "fuck tankies." There was a lot of drama between our instances and hostility from the blajah mods/admins (leaking private pms to make fun of, an ableist slur from a mod, saying they'll ban users over "tankie behavior" or "anything iffy from hexbear users," etc).

The only way we might've seen them as our allies was that we're both largely queer communities. We never agreed on politics, but were willing to put that aside until all the hostility.
