This article uses some generalizations, which can definitely be misleading, making the claim that the support is different souly from social media can't really be corroborated with every member of our generation. it brings up good points like the fact that normally older people get their news from cable television and younger people generally get it online therefore, younger people will see the effects in true horror and side with Palestine. Still, that's not always the case, and sets up the argument poorly in a way where there can be misleading generalizations.
Can't be true or false (Opinion, poem, etc.)
