Poll: Yale Freshmen are More Critical of Israel Than China
“Almost two-thirds (63%) of the first-year students said they held a critical view of the Jewish state”
This isn’t surprising at all. All of the political figures they think are cool are anti-Israel. It gets talked about constantly.
The New York Post reports:
Yale freshmen are much more critical of Israel than China, alarming poll finds
All Yale the Xi.
Incoming Yale freshmen are overwhelmingly more critical of Israel than they are of China, according to an alarming poll of new students.
Almost two-thirds (63%) of the first-year students said they held a critical view of the Jewish state — almost double the 35% who said they were critical of China, according to a Yale Daily News survey of students.
The number of Yalies who said they held a “very critical” opinion of Israel was an eyebrow-raising four times that of those who held the same harsh opinion of China (40% versus 10%), the poll found.
At the same time, 14% of respondents were very or somewhat supportive of China, compared to just 8% who felt the same about Israel.
Chinese students make up about 0.8% of the incoming freshman body, the report found.
Yale’s Connecticut campus was one of hundreds across the US hit by anti-Israel protests in the wake of the attacks of Oct. 7, 2023, and the Israeli military response in Gaza — with billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman even comparing the Ivy League school to Hamas.
The Yale Chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine organized walkouts, rallies, and demonstrations against Israel in the weeks following the attacks by Palestinian militants.
In April 2024, anti-Israel student activists initiated a hunger strike on Beinecke Plaza to pressure the Yale Corporation to divest from weapons manufacturers supplying Israel, the Connecticut Mirror reported.
That same month, in the wake of the initial tent clearings at New York’s Columbia University, Yale students pitched tents on Beinecke Plaza, setting up what they called a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment.”

You are what you read. MSM slant and propaganda works.
For years I have been disappointed by what Yale, my alma mater, has become. When I attended, the college’s focus was on teaching its students to think critically. That no longer seems to be a significant goal. This article chills me to the bone. The Leftist indoctrination does not begin at Yale. It starts in our secondary schools! The question is how to put an end to it. Any ideas, fellow readers?
It unsurprising to me that college kids are not critical of China but of Israel since they spend 3 plus hours a day cnsuming Chinese, Russian, Qatari and Iranaian propoganda uncritically through their devices, apps, etc. Poeple don’t question why dos my news “feed,” endlessly give me Al Jazeera articles ?or Press TV? Why is my google news feed recomnending the Electronic Intifada constantly? They are just clicking on it; or just letting the next video scroll. They are completely plugged into the algorithim with no awareness of it. And the algorithim is simple: Jews (um Israel)=evil white colonial satan and the cause of everything that is wrong in the world. Jews are taking away (insert whatever you care about the most) and they must be stopped. The only ideas I have are to help people realize that they are addicted to these devices and that what they are watching and listening to is coming from groups that want to manipuate them, control them and take over. The end goal is power and control and the more you watch it, believe it and let it shape your mind, the more you are giving them power and losing your own.
