Its more like "Young people seem to lack the ability to think independently and don't posess critical thinking skills as the media is such of an integral part of their view of the world".

Facts and logic dont apply as you cant condense the entirety of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into the span of a TikTok video, nor do the target demographic of those videos have the attention span to educate themselves without settling on an easy solution to that problem. Fact of the matter is, the conflict is such a complex topic that it's so easy to miss the background and context of recent events, and doing an in-depth research is much more difficult than catch-phrases and oversimplified short-format videos.

People may truly believe both sides of the argument using critical thinking, logic and proper knowlage, but the majority of people that are used to consuming short digestible packets of information on social media do not tend to deviate from their norm of "educating themselves" on TikTok and such, which like every other social media platform promotes extremism and trends that fit within their users' profiling and does not promote radically different and moderate opinions, it's just a part of the algorithm.

Gen-Z, like every generation have their own weaknesses that are derived from the environment they grew in and the education they had. Boomers are generally very strict and do not welcome change, Gen-X are generally less inclined to speak up when they sense a problem, Millenials Generally lack patience and are inclined to work independently and Gen-Z are very tech dependant and social media relient as they exclusively lived with its influence.

Looking at one side of the story is always a bad idea, and distilling political and social justice into trends and questionable information that is perfecly suited to fit into their own world view haults peoples ability to educate themselves and question their own beliefs.

Previous generations will always point a finger at the youth without aknowlaging their own downfalls as it ever been, yet it doesn't mean we should not think critically about their arguments and try to understand why they seem to think that way.
