ATLANTA — A new survey finds that 22% of American college students believe the United States deserved the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

The findings come from a Buckley Institute poll of 803 undergraduate students, none of whom were born when the attacks took place.

The survey also found that 42% of students prefer socialism over capitalism, marking the largest gap in favor of socialism in five years.

The poll also examined students’ views on U.S. relationships in the Middle East.

According to the findings, 38% of respondents identified the Palestinian territories as a better U.S. ally, compared to 25% who selected Israel.
