1 in 5 College students with Hamas

[putnam6]

I've always thought America had good checks and balances with the wider teachings of our universities with whatever dogma was generally absorbed before "higher education" at home secondary schools etc. We know the MSM isn't exactly unbiased either

Now however we have lost or are losing the balance.

Not going to lie the mashup of everybody thinking they must go to college, with 86% stating they learn about the conflict on social media, is the most concerning trend I hear about America's future. There is very little fact-checking, or reading learning from other sources, hell even on legit sites the comments are chock full of propagandized BS. Still, see posts about Israeli copters firing at the Nova music festival which is a known complete falsehood. No doubt an organized foreign effort mixed with the domestic ill-informed is a dangerous mix.

The internet initially was fantastic for reading and learning about current events and history, now every headline article or comment needs to be vetted and researched for accuracy as all social media contributors aren't concerned about being factually correct, or concise but the clicks views, and likes.

A new survey reveals that 22% of college students sympathize with Hamas. Roughly a quarter of U.S. college students are confident in their knowledge about the war between Israel and Hamas, with 6% saying they’re extremely knowledgeable, and 19% saying they’re very knowledgeable.

Social media is the most common source of information about these issues for students. Eighty-six percent of college students say they’ve learned about the conflict and/or current war on social media.

Among the 99% of respondents who say they’ve used social media in the past three weeks, 32% say they see information about these issues all the time on social media, while 41% say they do often. Additionally, 19% say they see information about these issues some of the time, while 6% say not very often. Only 1% of social media users say they never see related information on their channels.

Students also have learned about the Israel-Palestine conflict and Israel-Hamas war through news articles (62%), talking directly to others (58%), televised news (56%), and podcasts (17%).

Nearly half of students, 48%, say they’re somewhat knowledgeable on the most recent conflict, while 23% are not very knowledgeable. Only 4% of students say they’re not knowledgeable at all.

“College students often feel compelled to stay informed about global events and to engage in meaningful discourse, both in and out of the classroom,” says Eric Eng, a college admission expert and the founder and CEO of AdmissionSight. “This sense of responsibility, particularly in our information age, could account for the number of students who claim to be ‘very knowledgeable’ about the situation. Yet, it’s worth noting that being informed doesn’t necessarily equate to a comprehensive understanding of such complex issues.”

And those students facing crippling student loan debts to attend centres (universities) for left-wing political indoctrination.

They side with Hamas and they think UBL was a good guy.  This is what being addicted to social media and communist chinas TikTok do to a brain.  That, and far left universities pounding crap ideology into their heads.  The truth is totally gone.

The scary part is they believe no war is just, and believe the Allies were wrong in Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki regardless to the well-known facts that both Nazi Germany and imperial Japan would have loved to bomb the innocent New Yorkers or San Franciscans into annihilation. In both countries, individual brutality and cruelty is so well documented. But we hear arguments they should have warned Dresden, and it's like if they did that it would endanger allied lives, and Germany may have been able to stop it altogether.

 They think a protest could stop ISIS

I think they should have asked one more question: when did you first learned about the Israel/Palestine situation?

I wouldn't be surprised if, for many, this was the first time.

I wonder what percentage agree with zionism. Just as brutal as Hamas. Ofc it would be. It was fashioned by the same hand.. Should have asked that on the questionnaire too..

Yeh, young people have a heart, its usually not until youve actually experience reality will you make an informed decision. 

If god was merciful he'd drop a giant meteor on the middle east and free us of this useless beef.

Breaking: John Kirby confirmed that Iran is funding the protests in the US: “We do know that Iran has been funding and encouraging some of the protest activity here in the United States.”

Do you think God has a track record of being merciful?  If so, why shouldn't he go back on His covenant, and start over again?

ETA:  However, your solution also works;  the effect of a "giant meteor" or asteroid certainly wouldn't be contained merely to the location where it landed.   Nope.  ELE, baby.

I am gobsmacked at the support of Hamas by the youth, however, they haven't seen the progression of the conflict for decades.   What really blows my mind is the support of Hamas by facets of the existing U.S. government.

Here's the crazy part the youth at least the majority are doing it for nothing, well besides the 10-15% anarchists and other extreme ideologists, who probably get daily, weekly, or monthly stipends, while the facets of Uncle Sam they know exactly what they are doing they don't care because they are getting rich, or have been so compromised they have no choice.

Wouldn't be the first time some of the Uncle's facets took a bunch of the cheddar, the cheese the mucho dinero, just never on the scale this scale and sophistication. Down in hell, Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall marvels at the amounts of scratch and shekels that have no doubt changed hands, William Prescott Bush supposedly made a fortune before, and during WWII, and was supposedly part of the General Smedley Butler affair. I could go on but it's in our political DNA and part of me thinks it's why the Constitution is there to always help guide Uncle Sam back on the correct path. 

Or is that just my 2 in the morning rationalization...
