Recent polls show that a significant number of Americans, especially young people, believe that Hamas's actions in the Israel-Hamas war can be justified. A Harvard Harris poll revealed that 51% of 18 to 24-year-olds in the United States think that the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack on Jews was justified. Another poll found that 58% of Muslim Americans believe Hamas was justified in their terror attacks on Israel. These numbers have raised concerns about the influence of education and propaganda on young people's perceptions of the conflict.

A majority of 18-24 year olds say the Hamas terror attack and murder of 1400 Jews was justified. Nearly all Americans ages 25-34 too. Young people in America have broken brains. They no longer can distinguish between good and evil. https://t.co/WIdlvIfT4g

Astounding numbers. The majority (51%) of 18 to 24-year-olds believe the Oct 7th massacre was justified by the grievance of Palestinians. This is the American education system at work. https://t.co/gCtfI9Av72

I just keep staring at these numbers. A slim majority(!) of 18-24 year old Americans say Hamas slaughtering civilians "can be justified by the grievance of Palestinians." Then 62% of the exact same group agree the massacre was "genocidal." Genocidal but justified. https://t.co/cBp0pnnPFL

Hamas teaches Palestinian children that rape and murder are justified. How damning it is that many American students believe the same thing. My latest in @FoxNews: https://t.co/1Yc2Q8rUGB
