Perhaps they believe in a different mission then the one you believe in?

It's not about me. The largest student protest since Vietnam is currently happening. The majority of young Americans[0] are pro-Palestine and those numbers have only been growing I just think it's interesting that a company who's branding is so strongly tied to that demographic is cool with being seen so loudly on the wrong side of this by young people and the left [0] https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/02/younger-americans-stand-out-in-their-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/02/younger-a...

  > majority of young Americans are pro-Palestine Yeah, no. A very loud group of young college aged students are currently taking in a side in a conflict they know very little about. That's about it.

    Nope. There's stats https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/02/younger-americans-stand-out-in-their-views-of-the-israel-hamas-war/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/02/younger-a... 60% of young adults say they support Palestinian people. That number is only 46% for Israeli

      The majority you speak of is "a third of adults under 30 say their sympathies lie either entirely or mostly with the Palestinian people..." that is not majority.

        I'm referring to the 60% that sympathize with Palestinian people. Adults under 30 view Palestinian people more favorably than Israeli people

      > majority of young Americans[0] are pro-Palestine...there's stats A majority of 18 to 29-year old Americans have a favourable view of the Palestinian people, a historic high. That's favourability, not one side or the other, and the phrasing in respect of the people is important. 33% sympathise more with Palestine than Israel and 27% reject Israel's reasons for fighting Hamas (34% believe Hamas' fight is valid). These numbers are historic enough to not have to twist them.
