What’s behind the US generational divide on Israel’s war on Gaza? | Inside Story

  • Polls suggest an increasing number of young Americans are siding with Palestinians and growing critical of Israel. Successive US administrations across the political divide have backed Israel since it was created in 1948. But polls suggest that public support for Israel in the United States now appears to be waning, especially among young people. A Pew Research study two years ago indicated that only 41 percent in the age group of 18 to 29 had a favourable view of Israel. And many students from this generation are now protesting on university campuses against the war on Gaza, which has killed nearly 35,000 Palestinians. So, is the anger among young Americans highlighting a generational divide in Washington’s policy towards Israel? And what are the reasons reshaping public opinion?

      When it comes to fighting evil we should not fear God he wants us to defend ourselves and our children from evil. I would fear these protests escalating and Islam extremists infiltrating and manipulating our youth. This is way deeper and more complicated than most see. Islamic extremists love the chaos that is being created bc it will make it easier to attack the US again. Hamas and other Islamic groups are loving all the support for Palestine in the West- this has been their plan for a long time. It’s being happening in Europe and we could have seen this coming. They see us as weak and stupid for tolerating all this insanity- most of all they hate Jew and the West. . People seem to have forgotten 9/11. Most of these kids weren’t even born yet and have zero perspective of what they are doing.😢

      True. But of course the counterpoint is that as the young generation ages, it acquires more assets, property, and perhaps most importantly a family--leading to a bit of less idealism and more conservatism. MAGA is fueled by Boomers--it's a last ditch effort, as Millennials and on have lived in a time that doesn't warrant as much nostalgia of a time of prosperity & exploitation.

Corruption is rampant and big money is most absolutely running our nation in high places. Just like the elite like it and those who see no problem with selling their very souls for a profit. And in the process selling a majority of We the People out.

    Most human beings everywhere, regardless of age, are against massacring civilians, bombing hospitals and schools, and thinking such is perfectly safe and fine to do to anyone for practically anything. This is uncivil and dangerous for all humans everywhere if Governments and Militaries are allowed to massacre civilians and destroy crucial infrastructure for ordinary people, non-combatants, to survive. Human beings have compassion towards all other human beings. Those who have no compassion have lost their minds.

    My father was Irish-German American and what you'd call a liberal zionist (although he never called himself that), but in the late 90s after Bibi came to power especially, he began to notice the difference in tone and rhetoric in the mailings he was getting from all the zionist groups that he donated money to; it became more overtly chauvinistic and contemptuous of the Palestinians and began to speak less and less to non-Jews; the mask began to slip and I know it was troubling him. But he left this world before the 2nd Intifada and hasn't seen all that's happened.... sometimes I'm glad, because it would have broken his heart and shattered him to think that he was deceived into supporting the things that he had always taught me to oppose and to stay vigilant for from a young age. At least God spared him that. He was a good man; a very good man...and when I think about the way that his best virtues and moral impulses were hacked and exploited so cynically... there aren't words for the disgust I feel.

    It's not an issue of age; it's a matter of paying attention, being aware, and knowing propaganda for what it is. In an age when we have access to facts in a way we have not had before (e.g., peaceful students getting brutalized by the imperial stormtroopers for saying 'no' to genocide), 'older' people do not have the excuse of 'not knowing' -- they could if they cared enough.

    Listen to the Youth. It's not difficult. Their activist elders from the 60s didn't understand intersectionality as well as they do, simply because the youth have had more years to study it. Intersectionality is a concept originally explained by the Combahee River Collective and Angela Davis.

      ​​​​​​​​​​@@fred2903Context and elaboration: After 9/11, there was not a global student movement celebrating the attack. Nobody was comparing/contrasting Palestinians dancing in the streets to U.S. student activists protesting Vietnam. Most students in the U.S. weren't celebrating 9/11, as most students are against the war now. I know, because I was in my 20s in 2001. Additionally, the common phrases "Listen to the Youth" or "Children are our future" don't mean listen to every single youth, or every group of youths. It means listen to "The Youth" when based on data (explained in this video and others) they're agreeing in their communies to ask for something that affects their collective futures, such as stopping war.

      But a generational gap exists nonetheless, as outlined in the video. It is true that students are displaying more morality and courage. It also has to do with the echo-chamber one is accustomed to. Assuming that many in the older generation are more Right wing, they are lost in that echo-chamber regarding any truth on this issue. Students are also in a better position to protest because less personal risk is assumed. They're not employed and don't have a job to lose.

    After months of listening to Biden's rhetoric and knowing how antagonistic the Republican Party is to grass root movements supporting political change, I am not even slightly surprised at their unified response to the student protests. I agree with the comment that they are listening to AIPAC, although it should also be clear by now that Biden thinks he is the smartest person in the room, and his misperception of himself is exacerbating the situation. It's money and ego that are effectively driving the US complicity in war crimes. It's a tragedy on a horrific scale.
