The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LM: “Two-thirds (About 67%) of young Americans between the ages of 18-24 believe that Jews as a class are oppressors and should be treated as oppressors, according to a new poll conducted by Harris Insights and Analytics and Harvard University's Center for American Political Studies (CAPS).”

I would call them, ‘blue, progressives and woke.
They certainly are not among the conservative class.


From the same study:

Do you think that Jews as a class are oppressors and should be treated as oppressors or is that a false ideology

18-24 67% think they are oppressors

**but**

Do you think Israel has a right to exist as the homeland of the Jewish people or that Israel has no right to exist?

18-24 69% right to exist

It's ambiguous to me. I'd have to talk to them. My absolute guess is they are sympathetic with Palestinians and would like for Israel to stop, but when pressed are disgusted with Hamas and don't like Netanyahu. I wouldn't call that view woke, I'd call it a normal person.
