A shocking new survey found that 60% of Generation Z in the US favor Hamas – the internationally designated terrorist group – over Israel in the ongoing war in Gaza.
The results mark a clear generational shift, with 18- to 24-year-olds the only age group to show love for the vicious terror group, a Harvard-Harris poll released this week found.
Among a wide range of questions, the survey asked online respondents “in the Israel-Hamas conflict, do you support more Israel or more Hamas?”
It showed a clear trend, with support for Hamas declining — and support for Israel growing with age. The survey found:
- 65% of 25- to 34-year-olds said they supported Israel more than Hamas.
- 70% of 35- to 44-year-olds chose the Jewish state over the terror group.
- 74% of 45- to 55-year-olds favored Israel.
- 84% of 55- to 64-year-olds picked Israel and rejected Hamas.
- 89% of people aged 65 years voiced their support for Israel.
Across all age groups, a total of 74% of people surveyed favored Israel, while 26% of Americans backed Hamas.
The findings were also evident of a partisan divide with 67% of Democrats selecting the Jewish state over the Palestinian terror group, compared to 82% of Republicans.
The poll found that 58% of Americans think Israel should only agree to a hostage deal if Hamas leaves Gaza for good.
The terror group recently agreed to a “partial” cease-fire deal to free more than half of the 50 remaining hostages in Gaza — including 10 living captives — in exchange for a 60-day truce that was initially proposed by the US, with the backing of Israel in May.
But the bodies of two hostages were discovered by Israeli forces in Gaza this week, although it is unclear when the captives had been killed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this month rejected the deal, saying Hamas had to agree to all of the Jewish state’s demands to end the war, which included the terror group leaving the Gaza Strip once and for all.
The online survey of 2,025 registered American voters was conducted between Aug. 20 and 21.
