Yonatan Manor, president of Boston University Students for Israel, said failure to denounce Hamas was akin to supporting Nazis. Younger Americans are much less likely than older generations to support Israel. Support for Israel has grown among all Americans since 2014, when clashes between Israel and Hamas led to thousands of deaths, the vast majority Palestinians. One member, a Middle Eastern Jewish student at Barnard College who requested anonymity for safety concerns, said the organization's ethos underscores the conflict's complexity. Raffi Ivker, a Jewish student at George Washington University, said he believed neither side "has clean hands."
