American university professor: We should be worried about generation Z’s hatred of Israel
An American researcher, by examining various social networks, said that generation Z feel much more unpleasant towards Israel than their parents. |
According to Fars News Agency International Group, “Juan P. Villasmil”, a member of the editorial staff of the Institute of Intercollegiate Studies in Wilmington, North Carolina, wrote that polls, hashtags, Instagram stories and university demonstrations It shows that post-millennials (Generation Z) have more unfavorable opinions and feelings towards Israel compared to older Americans. They were born until 2010. From the very beginning of childhood, when they opened their eyes to the world, they were able to see the progress of the Internet and other smart tools in the world, and that is why they are called the Net (Internet) generation or digital natives.
“Juan P. Villasmil” wrote in a note on the “Hill” news website: “The TikTok platform, half of whose users are under 30 years old, is at the top with the hashtag “Freedom for Palestine” with 31 billion posts, while for “Supporting Israel” has only 590 million posts, which means supporting Palestine is more than 50 times more than supporting Israel.” According to Vilasmil, most of these short videos are from Post users. It turns out that they don’t know much about the conflict in Palestine and Gaza, but they are eager to search and learn. “It’s time for older Americans, who may still think of TikTok as a silly dance app, to see it as a media source that shapes their children’s view of the world,” he warned. This is what some politicians have already realized and therefore they want to ban it completely.” The fact that he can suddenly become an expert on history and politics in the Middle East should be taken seriously, regardless of what people think of him.” He then tried to label the pro-Palestinian youth associated with extreme left-wing thinking and wrote: “TikTok showed something that had been forming for years, that is, the imperialist nature of the American far-left thinking”.
This American researcher with Emphasizing the word “imperialist”, he called the thinking of supporting the Palestinians against Israel as imperialistic and claimed that in connection with the history of the Middle East, social networks have taken the power of thinking from young people, and we should worry about the “one-sided view” and “with hatred” of generation Z. On the other hand, “Noam Chomsky”, philosopher, cognitive science scientist and American political activist, in a recent interview with the Iranian media “Madrasa Azad”, with Referring to the unreserved support of the American government to Israel, he said that this support approach to Israel may be completely different in the future. Today, the American people’s support for Israel has decreased and it is in favor of the Palestinians. The situation of this double is 50-50. Take a look at the partisan support of the Democrats, today they defend the Palestinians more than Israel. Whereas in the past, most of Israel’s support body was by liberal-democrats. This is a big change, it means that the whole policy of America towards the Middle East will change”.
