A majority of registered young voters in the United States said they want “Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians,” rather than the two-state solution, according to a Harvard-Harris poll.
Following a survey of 2.034 registered voters December 13-14, voters between the ages of 18 and 24 are profoundly more hostile to Israel than any other age.
The result highlights the pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses and in large cities.
According to Breitbart, the results from the poll suggest:
60% of those 18-24 believe that the October 7 terror attack was “justified” by Palestinian grievances (versus 27% overall)
53% of those 18-24 think students should be “free to call for genocide” of Jews (versus 26% overall)
67% of those 18-24 think university presidents “went far enough” in condemning antisemitism (versus 38% overall)
79% of those 18-24 agree “white people are oppressors” and “nonwhite” people should be “favored” (versus 35% overall)
67% of those 18-24 believe Jews belong in the category of “oppressors” (versus 27% overall)
60% of those 18-24 think Israel is trying to commit “genocide” in Gaza (versus 37% overall)
67% of those 18-24 think Hamas “can be negotiated with” (versus 36% overall)
51% of those 18-42 think Israel started the “crisis” (versus 27% overall)
These results among young people are accompanied by other, seemingly contrary results, such as 73% of those 18-24 agreeing that the attack of October 7 was “terrorist,” 66% agreeing that Hamas’s intent was “genocidal,” and 76% agreeing that Hamas “committed rapes and other crimes against women.”

The only question on which young people seem better informed than older generations is on the level of Palestinian support for Hamas:
64% of those 18-24 think “Hamas is supported by the majority of Palestinians in Gaza” (versus 34% overall).
Recent polls of Palestinians suggest broad support for Hamas.
