Harvard/Harris Poll: Huge Majorities of 18-to-24-Year-Olds Believe Jews, Whites ‘Are Opressors’
[Reason] From the poll, conducted Wednesday and Thursday of last week:

There is an ideology that white people are oppressors and nonwhite people and people of certain groups have been oppressed and as a result should be favored today at universities and for employment. Do you support or oppose this ideology?

Lots more in the survey, available here. From the description:

This survey was conducted online within the United States from December 13-14 among 2,034 registered voters by The Harris Poll and HarrisX. Results were weighted for age within gender, region, race/ethnicity, marital status, household size, income, employment, education, political party, and political ideology where necessary to align them with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was also used to adjust for respondents' propensity to be online.

The poll was supervised by pollsters:
Mark Penn (Chairman, The Harris Poll)
Dritan Nesho (CEO, HarrisX)
Stephen Ansolabehere (Professor and CAPS Director Emeritus, Harvard University)

It seems likely that, of the 2,034 registered voters, only about 170 or so were age 18-to-24 (12% of the adult population, discounted for lower voter registration numbers), which would yield a margin of error of ±8%; even with that margin of error, the view that whites and Jews are oppressors would get huge majorities among 18-to-24-year-olds.
The Times of Israel adds:
Poll finds most young Americans back ’ending’ Israel, many find Jewish genocide justified.

Over half of young Americans surveyed on Israel’s conflict with Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
believe the Jewish state should no longer exist, and instead become Paleostinian territory ruled by the Hamas terror group, according to a new online poll.

The monthly Harvard CAPS/Harris poll finds continuing support for Israel in its campaign against Hamas among every age demographic but 18- to 24-year olds.

Overall, the survey finds 81 percent of respondents back Israel. Among the youngest age bracket, though, that support is evenly split between Israel and Hamas.

On several questions, voters in that age group seem to express contradicting or muddled views. For instance, despite 51% wanting to see Israel replaced by a Hamas/Paleostinian entity, 58% of respondents in the group think Hamas should be removed from running Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
The survey finds 66% of respondents in the age group think the October 7 attacks constitute genocide. At the same time, 60% think that the attacks were justified by Paleostinian grievances. The upshot: Many young people think genocide is justified.

Many also seem to be okay with hate speech at universities: According to the poll, 53% of young people think students should be free to call for Jewish genocide on campus, though 70% think such calls constitute hate speech.

And while 67% of 18-to 24-year olds think the presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn universities went far enough in condemning antisemitism, when faced with comments they made during congressional testimony — that calls for Jewish genocide are only punishable depending on the context — 73% said they should resign.

#2 They’re going to find adulthood interesting, and may well change their minds about all sorts of things.

#5 I love how the only problem here is that Jews are named as oppressors. Hey, when they do it to whites, it's 100% OK and nobody has a problem with it.


BUt change it to Jews and suddenly a hate crime.

: According to the poll, 53% of young people think students should be free to call for Jewish genocide on campus, though 70% think such calls constitute hate speech.

Hate speech is speech I hate. Calling for white genocide is good enough to get you a spot on the editorial board of the NY Times. Do the exact same thing, just swap 'white' for Jew' and suddenly our free speech needs to be censored.

You're not crazy. People are noticing this.

#6 Many today view the Jews as the canaries in the cage. What those asleep or suffering from severe white guilt have ignored for years is laid out clearly and unmistakably as the full assault upon Western Civilization and the foundation of Judaeo-Christianity by hard Left. It's about power. No negotiations are possible. This is a fight in which there can be only one in the end because they've made it so. The barbaric display of 'oppressed' on Oct 7 turned up the stove too fast. It's being noticed and the line is being drawn, here and now.

#8 I don't want to be the one to break it to you, but Jewish people aren't the biggest fans of the white race either.

#9 ..you mistake group self identity with pure Leftest hate of Western Civ. The Left has no problem with 'self indentity' as long as its subordinated to the goals and power of the Left.

#10 Whatifalthist has a YouTube on whether there is a psychological Black Death occurring in the West. Pretty compelling.
