Honestly, I think a lot of it is about being trendy. The male brain isn't fully developed until the age of 26 or so. To them, Hamas looked "cool" on motorbikes as they kidnapped Holocaust survivors and raped Israeli women.

My father was a “guest” of the Germans in Auschwitz. That was in the 1940s. Watching the riots ( not protests) in what was once considered as “elite” universities, I see the pictures of the German students in their universities in the 1940s. There is no difference between the behaviour of the Nazi students and the masked rioters in the US universities. None whatsoever. Sad. You are supposed to learn from history. But almost nobody ever does.
