When I read that lesbians, gays and transgenders support Palestine...I was like "What ?"
Do they realize this group would not tolerate their lifestyle ?

It makes no sense to me.
Israelis are considered "white," and Palestinians are considered "people of color," and it's PC to back POC.

It's really that simple (and simplistic).

For those in deep denial of anti-semitism on the left, let's take a look at Aretha Franklins Funeral. The guy you can't see is Al Sharpton. If you don't see the leader of the largest anti-jewish hate group in the US, look closer.

Or this, from Huffpo.

The issue is not anti-semitism on the left its the denial that it exists on the right. Your examples of Sharpton, his attendance is no surprise seeing the prominence of her father in the church as well as her participation in it. I don't ever recall him being tied to anti-semitism although Farrakhan does get mentioned often.

I'm sure if I spent the time to look there are plenty of Faith Leaders preaching to the right that use disparaging words against those who don't think like they do.I remember when the Catholics were still calling out the Jews over Jesus's death...

7% of those surveyed said they "strongly agree" or "tend to agree" that the Holocaust was a myth.

I'm sadly not shocked, with all the misinformation and conspiracy theories floating around all over the internet sadly this is what happens. Education in this country is failing kids and these social media platforms that allow anti-semitic conspiracy theories and other garbage need be reined in. Just sad but hey this is the country we live in. Get yourself a text book from a florida school I'm sure by now deathsantis probably rid them of ww2 history.

So technically it's true...holocaust denial is growing among young Democrats.
Another Democratic example of the education system!

The don't understand math or history.

The OP is saying only 50% are convinced it is real. 30% are ambivalent and 20% think its probably false.

This is so true btw. Sadly alot of white liberal reformed Jews from NYC and LA did not know BLM and black liberation was aligned with Palestinian causes. Yes blm and black liberation knows nazism is bad, but when it comes to Palestine, BLM and black liberation is siding with Palestine even though many extreme ideologies that harmed Jews such as nazism communism and baathism are all aligned with pro Palestinian movements. Btw nazism baathism and communism are all products of Marxism.

When George Floyd died. Plenty of media and a academia spaces were all down and in for Floyd.

Not even close to accurate numbers, though.

One in five young Americans thinks the Holocaust is a myth

Dec 7th 2023 | WASHINGTON, DC

On december 5th, for over five hours, lawmakers grilled the presidents of elite universities in a congressional hearing about antisemitism on college campuses. In one of the testiest exchanges a Republican congresswoman, Elise Stefanik, asked whether “calling for the genocide of Jews” violates university rules. It is “context-dependent”, replied Liz Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania. Clips of the exchange went viral on X, formerly Twitter. Yad Vashem, a Holocaust museum and research centre, issued a condemnation and stressed the importance of “raising awareness about the history of antisemitism and the Holocaust”.
20% think the Holocaust is a myth? I bet that there is a lot of intersectionality with the ones that can't tell the difference between a male and a female.

well... the actual number, based on American demographics, and the linked poll, would suggest somewhere in the neighborhood of 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 Americans deny the Holocaust....

TWO THIRDS OF THAT NUMBER ARE DEMOCRATS
