Why have so many young people come out against Israel? Social media is influencing this trend.
From New York Post. Young people tearing down posters of Israeli hostages and launching waves of anti-Israel demonstrations say they’re being fueled by thousands of pro-Palestinian videos, mainly on TikTok and Instagram.

Ripping down posters and lavishing praise on those who do has become a trend ever since Hamas terrorists took 240 Israelis hostage during their Oct. 7 terror assault on Israel.
More than a dozen protesters interviewed by The Post in Manhattan said their opinions about the Israel-Hamas war were shaped mainly by Instagram and TikTok accounts — and to a lesser extent their school professors.
They were at a rally on Thursday attended by at least 2,000, many of them under-30s who had skipped school to join the anti-Israel spectacle. …
Michelle Ahdoot, a director with End Jew Hatred said she does not believe that the young people tearing down the posters and going to rallies — the majority seem to be under 30 — are truly aware of what they’re doing.
“A lot of them wouldn’t be able to point to Israel on a map,” Ahdoot told The Post. “I think a lot of this is coming from ignorance. They’re been brainwashed into thinking they are doing something in the name of social justice.” …
Though there are plenty of pro-Israel videos on TikTok and other social media, they appear to be less popular than the pro-Palestinian ones.
The top result for the search phrase “stand with Palestine” had been viewed nearly 3 billion times as of Oct. 26, while the top result for “stand with Israel” was viewed just over 200 million times, according to one analysis.
TikTok’s own data showed a similar gap in the US, with more than twice as many posts using the hashtag #StandwithPalestine as posts with #StandwithIsrael over the last two weeks, Axios reported. …
Anti-Israel influencers posting on Instagram and TikTok have gained followers since the Hamas massacres.
Among them is 19-year-old Calla Walsh of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
She is one of the youngest and fiercest behind-the-scenes anti-Israel agitators, a founding organizer of Palestine Action US, and had 158 million views on TikTok for her videos.
Among her causes: encouraging her followers to tear down posters.
“Anyone with good conscience should tear down these atrocity propaganda blitz posters, which repeat proven lies about Hamas killing babies and raping women in order to breed hysteria and justify Israel’s genocide of Palestine,” Walsh told The Post.
“If we want to talk about hostages, let’s talk about how Israel is bombing its own ‘hostages’ to death in Gaza instead of negotiating a peace. The real hostages are the 2 million Palestinians trapped in Gaza, the 10,000 Israel has murdered in the past month, and the thousands and thousands more trapped under the rubble.”

Father, we are truly sheep. We tend to follow the crowd. But I ask in Jesus name that the sheep wake up. Please raise up many Godly shepherds to lead the multitudes to You, the living God who gives life and that life more abundantly. Draw them to you and protect us all from the lies of the enemy….Globally! Thank you, Good Shepherd for delivering us from evil, in Jesus’ name, Amen
May we all dance in the Heavenly city together someday and glorify Your name!
Lord God speak truth into the minds of the young generations to stay away from the evil mindset of social media 🙏. They need the truth and not to believe in sadistic lies!!
What is frightening is that reason no longer seems to have the power to cause people to seek information from multiple sources. Why are they comfortable with spouting unfounded and unproven statements, without diligent research on their part to corroborate or refute them? I would think that simple curiosity would cause them to question – am I getting the whole story? A simple principle I employed as a preschool teacher, is to listen closely to both parties in any disagreement. Since when is it okay to deny a voice to one side? And yet those who are pro-Israel have been denied a voice on far too many platforms, or have not had their voices honored and considered legitimate.
LORD, please restore reason to a world under deception, and stir a desire for the Truth of You and Your Holy Word.
Lord, Make them curious. send harvesters into your harvest field!
Thank You
I searched this 19 year old’s name and she IS all over the place denying truth and spreading lies. She has been exposed on this website…..https://canarymission.org/individual/Calla_Walsh
(Canary Mission documents individuals and organizations that promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews on North American college campuses and beyond…. the highlights as follows:
CALLA WALSH
Support for Hamas War Crimes
Hatred of Police
Hatred of America
Idolizing a Domestic Terrorist
Promoting a Terrorist Organization
Justifying Violence
Promoting an Anti-Semitic Campaign
Demonizing Israel
Demonizing Zionism
Anti-Israel Activism
Supporting BDS -boycott, divestment and sanctions…I had to look this up…
O my God, I feel fouled after reading about this young woman and she is only one of countless who are of their father the devil, whose will is to do what he desires….he is a liar and the father of lies. Your Word tells us what we MUST do: Tell the truth to each other. Render verdicts in our courts that are just and that lead to peace. Don’t scheme against each other. Stop the love of telling lies that are sworn to be truth. You say, “I hate all these things.”
I am praying today for Calla Walsh and all her supporters. They are cowards, unbelievers, corrupt, murderers, immoral… liars. You are patient Father, You don’t want anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. So, I am praying You will do what they require to feel deep saturating Godly sorrow. I am praying You will do what they need to repent and be saved from the place reserved for those who refuse You, the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. I am praying in the Name of Jesus Christ, You will have Your way with them Lord. Amen
John 8:44, Zechariah 8:16-17, Revelation 21:8, 2 Peter 3:9
It’s not social media that’s the enemy – it’s the proliferation of hatred of God having been and continuing to be taught from our past generations and continuing to our future generations. Social media is only 1 aspect. What is being taught by us in our homes, in every school – from daycare to college, in our government is what’s influencing us all, and is being driven by spiritual darkness
Amen
Father God, please wake these people up to the truth and let them see. I pray with and for Israel and her people. In your mighty and blessed name. Amen
Abba Father we ask that Calla Walsh, and other anti Israel activists, experience a revelation moment [by Holy Spirit] of who You are and Your Son Yeshua that sets them free of all hatred. All glory to You the Holy One of Israel!
