A new survey published by The New York Post has revealed that more than 60 per cent of Generation Z in the United States sympathise with Hamas over Israel in the ongoing conflict.
The findings highlight a significant generational divide in perspectives on the Middle East, with younger Americans expressing stronger support for Palestinians compared to older demographics who largely align with Israel.
Analysts suggest that Gen Z’s views may be shaped by social media narratives, human rights advocacy, and growing criticism of U.S. foreign policy in the region. The data underscores shifting attitudes that could have long-term implications for American politics and international relations.
The survey has sparked debate across the political spectrum, with some commentators arguing that the results reflect rising awareness of Palestinian suffering, while others warn of increasing radicalisation among youth.
