Additionally, 30 percent of young respondents are unsure about the Holocaust’s authenticity. Nearly a quarter of the same age group said the Holocaust has been “exaggerated.”

The poll also shows a significant number of young Americans think Jews have excessive power in the U.S., a belief five times more prevalent in this age group (28 percent) than among those over 65 (6 percent).

While the poll suggests that education level is not a significant factor in these beliefs as the proportion of respondents is similar across all education levels, the role of social media is notable.

Pew Research indicates that Americans under 30 trust social media as much as national newsgroups, with 32 percent in this age group sourcing news from the Chinese-owned TikTok. …

We have alot of ground to make up! The Church has not fulfilled it’s responsibility in keeping the enemy at bay!
I am totally convinced only a massive Revival will truly get this country back on the right track! We need to “stay on the wall” and continue to believe God and speak His Word and expect it to come to pass! God is not done with this country, even though some may think so. We must be His remnant!!!

God of truth, guide these young people who believe in social media lies into an understanding of what is real. Help them to turn away from the propaganda before their eyes.
May they instead be, blessed by walking in the light and truth of Your presence. ..
Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim You, who walk in the light of Your presence, Lord. Psalm 89:15
