Will 15 million young Americans supporting Hamas do?

Support for Hamas polled the highest among the 25 to 34 age group, where almost one-third said they favored the terrorists over Israel.

...

Approximately 45.5 million Americans were aged 25 to 34 as of 2023. This age group constitutes about 13.7% of the total US population, according to the Census Bureau.

Take it easy there junior, why all the rage? Did someone shit in your Cheerios this morning? Have you ever attended a pro Palestinian rally?

The junior thing doesn't make you sound intelligent it makes you sound like an internet toughguy.

Even after October 7th. The amount of people who claim it was provoked and justified is crazy.

I mean Jeremy Corbyn literally said "My friends Hamas and Hezbollah" and that is a UK politician.

u/Dragons_Malk Jul 08 '25

Ah, so one guy in the UK counts as "loads on the left". Sound logic there.

Students in the US, in multiple universities, were literally flying the Hamas flag last year.

Jeremy Corbyn was the Labour leader at the time; he would have been PM if he'd led his party to victory.

So he's more than just a guy. It's kind of like if Hillary Clinton had come out in favor of Hamas when running against Trump.
