Students were more likely to support Hamas (21 per cent) than Israel (16 per cent). Fewer younger Canadians (only 34 per cent) were aware that Hamas has been designated a terrorist organization by the federal government. It was the reverse among senior Canadians (73 per cent). Canada listed Hamas as a terrorist entity in the Canadian Criminal Code almost 20 years ago, in November 2002.
For people working full-time, the numbers are divided 26.9 per cent for Israel and 8.9 per cent for Hamas. Among retirees that split is 44.6 per cent for Israel and 4.6 per cent for Hamas.
When it came to respondents’ political leanings, people on the left end of the spectrum were more inclined to support Hamas (24.6 per cent for Hamas and 19.7 per cent for Israel). Respondents who identified as “right” were more inclined to support Israel (62.9 per cent) versus Hamas (1.9 per cent). |
The fact that 21% of students and almost 9% full time working people in Canada support Hamas is absolutely disgusting.
That is probably close to one in 10 Canadians.
What is wrong with people?
