I cannot understand how so many in my age group can say they support Hamas. It baffles me.

(Also Gen Z here)
I think many of them are ignorant people who don't have much of a clue about what they say they're supporting. They have this simplistic narrative in their heads that Israel are the powerful, Western-backed evil colonizers and reflexively support whoever is opposing Israel.
Honestly, shit like this is why I avoid saying I'm pro-Israel or pro-Palestine. You say you're pro-Israel, people think that means you like Likud and don't care about all the innocent people who have died in Gaza. You say you're pro-Palestine, and people think that makes you a Hamas supporter.
Too many people are viewing this like it's a sports game where one side is all good and the other side is all bad. It's fucking enraging.

Many Gen Z and younger weren’t alive to see the crazy turmoil in Israel decades ago. So now they only see it as powerful Israel picking on powerless Palestine. They don’t remember the Palestinians essentially oppressing themselves by going all in on trying to eliminate the jews. I am not saying Israel is in the right, but I’m damn sure not saying Palestine is either

In November 2023, a Gallup poll found that 50% of respondents in the United States supported Israel's actions in Gaza, while 45% disapproved.[246] The Marist Poll published on 15 November found that American respondents were more likely to sympathize with Israelis (61%) than Palestinians (30%).[247] According to the poll conducted by the Harvard CAPS–Harris Poll on January 17–18, 2024, 67% of American respondents said that a ceasefire in Gaza should only happen after all Israeli hostages are released and Hamas is removed from power. 74% of American respondents believed that the Hamas attack was genocidal, while 34% of respondents believed that Israel was committing genocide.[248]
According to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, Americans are divided over whether Israel has gone too far in its response to last month's attack.[249]
The poll found 61 percent of respondents support a cease-fire only after those conditions are met, while 39 percent support an unconditional cease-fire. A stark divide exists based on age group in responses to this question.Apr 29, 2024

As a member of Gen Z, I'd say the crux of the issue is that most people I know don't give a fuck about the facts. Literally, they search what they want to find & confirm their preexisting beliefs. All other evidence, sources, and testimony is antithetical, and so ignored and declared a falsity. There's no room for a middle ground nuanced opinion, one side or the other.
I wish I was kidding, but it's the only reasonable explanation in today's age.
I've lost friends for showing them the results page for googling "is Hamas fascist?"
they pick a side, they don't care if it's the right one
social media is going to destroy the world. anyone can pretend to be informed on issues these days, even if they got their knowledge from another random 17yo on tiktok. prior to 1990ish, you had to do some legitimate legwork if you wanted to pretend to be knowledgeable about something (or actually become knowledgeable). It took work. You had to seek people out and talk about it, seek out books, make calls, etc
Today you can just search Palestine or Israel on tiktok and get flooded with 95% misinformation that you'll then go parrot around again.
