Hamas supporters flood TikTok with anti-Israel content and Americans are buying it
<p>While we thought Tiktok was a social network for dancing and funny challenges, the fastest growing social platform in the world has become the main place for shaping the minds of young people and their worldview. Young people who draw recommendations on shopping, entertainment and experiences from the social network have begun to formulate uncontrolled political opinions through the platform that encourage antisemitism.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.ynetnews.com/article/rjtr8h2ia" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">survey</a> by researchers from Harvard University in collaboration with The Harris Poll shows that one third of Americans aged 18–24 think that Israel has no right to exist. They believe that the way to end the conflict is to put an end to Israel and transfer its territory to Hamas. Furthermore, more than half of the young Americans think that the terrible massacre carried out by <a href="https://www.hamas.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Hamas</a> on <a href="https://govextra.gov.il/mda/israel-under-attack/israel-under-attack/october-7th-hamas-invasion-and-atrocity/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">October 7</a> was justified. The young TikTok users flood the network with misinformation and encourage, through short videos, sweeping support for the Palestinians with much of the content being antisemitic.</p>
