To think that this really can't be true about young people's thoughts about Israel?

Referencing the holocaust in relation to this debate is called holocaust inversion. It is widely considered to be anti semetic.

What’s that got to do with the thread topic?

It’s still anti-semitism. Why are so many adults ignorant of this?

Also antisemitism. See the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

People just can’t get enough of comparing Jews to Nazis, can they?

It would be if any other Country had done it.

Did not compare Jews to Nazis. Compared the actions of the Israeli goverment to the Nazis

Why are so many adults unable to distinguish Jew from Israeli and IDF from Jew?

I read today that Israel just hit a school with two missiles.
Please tell me why this isn’t a war crime?

In terms of controlling the media, one of my relatives did a weeks work experience at a local paper when they were at school.....is that the sort of thing you mean?

They are entitled to that opinion
It's really no different to handing it to Israel in the first place. And as long as in their version no-one gets hurt or dies its a good plan.

The only reason I don't support that is that it wouldn't work, you would just create an Israeli settler version of hamas, and the Palestinian version of Israeli police and government targeting Jews, and have the same conflict.

I can still believe Jews just as anyone are entitled to live in peace anywhere in the world, but not "entitled" to a state or homeland at the cost of those already there.

Well your post was deleted...why do you think that was?

Its funny how you all think that Israel are the victims and that this only started on the 7th Oct. That's what they would like the whole world to think. But we don't think that anymore and there are millions of us all over the world who think Israel are in the wrong. But it seems to me that you don't seem to care about about 1000's of innocent people killed.
Yes I do not condone what happened on the 7th Oct, but what Israel did in return is off the scale and that cannot be right. Israel had a hand in creating Hamas exactly for this, to put the lives of innocent Israelis and Palestinians at risk and then use Hammas as a reason to invade Gaza. But Hammas are not in the West Bank or Jerusalem so why are the IDF and the right-wing settlers still harassing Palestinians. Why are Palestinians not treated equally. They do not have the same voting rights, they cannot even walk down or drive on certain roads.
Israel's own National Security Minister Ben Gvir wants to rid Israel of all Palestinians, he calls them animals not humans. Do you think what he is saying is correct. There are plenty more videos of him and others within Israel's parliament saying this. This is what everyone is seeing. Some of Israel's own army have turned their back and are speaking up against what Israel are doing, maybe you should listen to what they have to say.
This is what the younger generation are seeing and you will happily call them stupid, which is quite an insult if you ask me. Will you call everyone that doesn't agree with what is happening stupid? I do feel very sorry for you.

That Harvard table is as positive a view of American students at Harvard as you think it is.

And yet there are people who would get rid of Israel and are answering the question meaning exactly that.

The student on R4 wanted a single Palestinian state where Jews could live happily because antisemitism would be tackled.

This bloke with a megaphone in Leeds was very clear that he wanted the whole of the area from the river to the sea to be handed back to the Palestinians, to the cheers of the crowd.

I presume that legitimises killing every last Palestinian until they find them? That could be what young people cannot reconcile with.

I don’t know what hypocrisy you speak, so can’t speak directly to that. If it’s a ‘what would the British do if it was them’? British people were killed in US and UK bombings, but folks were still opposed to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Trendy? I don’t know again what you’re talking about, because people have been arguing for both sides for decades. We just have SM now where views are louder and reach more people, so it’s a topic that can no longer be ignored.

I think that's broadly true

It's not saying they are anti-semitic, but their actions influence the global publics view of Jews generally, and if there is an INCREASE in antisemitism (not just anti israel) then that increase is just as likely to be driven by the actions of the Israeli government as anything else.

They are no different to the Nazi.

This is anti-semitism.

Now we are comparing Jews to Nazis.

Antisemitism bingo.

There is also a difference between asking if something should exist, and asking if now it does exist it should be eradicated.

The question posed appears to be quite deliberately "should Israel exist" not should we get rid of Israel? Surveys like this often like to be ambiguous but lots of people will answer that in terms of would we create an Israeli state now? And no we would not.

Young people have been targeted by Iran in disinformation PsyOps for years now. See the post from the Supreme Leader.

In the UK, the vast majority of young people are NOT taught about the Middle East in school nor are they well informed. Fewer than 2% of them learn it in history GCSEs!

Young people are even more susceptible to PsyOps via social media from hostile States such as Iran, China and Russia.

Thankfully, social media is not reflective of real life where most American students at Harvard Uni have a positive view of Israel and a very negative one of Hamas.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. People who’ve lost their silly little heads to this kind of nonsense aren’t worth engaging with.

You are just spouting utter nonsense at this point. And we've heard it all before. You're not as clever as you think you are

"The government of Iran are not doing the Muslims any favours and I believe it is them that need to be blamed for the rise of islamophobia"

Yes I agree. There probably a lot of Iranians who would say the same.

The government of Israel are not doing the Jewish any favours and I believe it is them that need to be blamed for the rise of anti semitism

Bloody hell, I missed this gem.
