A recent survey conducted by the Israeli Ministry for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Anti-Semitism found that the majority of Jewish teenagers in the United States express sympathy for Palestinians, over a year into "Israel's" ongoing war in Gaza.

According to the poll, 66 percent of teens aged 14 to 18 said they sympathize with the Palestinian people, while 36.7% indicated support for Hamas. Among 14-year-olds specifically, this figure rises to 60 percent, as they expressed alignment with the Palestinian Resistance movement.

41% of Jewish teens call out genocide in Gaza

The survey also revealed that over 41% of respondents believe "Israel" is committing genocide in Gaza. These findings have triggered a backlash in "Israel", with Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli calling for efforts to strengthen "the bonds between Jewish teens in the diaspora and Israel."

This is unfolding as "Israel" continues to wage genocide on Gaza for over a year, with more than 44,000 Palestinians—primarily women and children—killed. Simultaneously, "Israel" is carrying out a brutal aggression against Lebanon, resulting in the killing of at least 4,000 civilians to date.

Outgoing US President Joe Biden has faced accusations of complicity in "Israel’s" actions, as his administration has so far continued military support to Tel Aviv.
