Have these centrists friends. They are actually pretty chill, give me a place to stay. But they’re your typical Bill Maher Libs in a lot of ways
Anyway, some months ago I complained about their views on Israel, drunkenly called them unintentionally racist to a mutual friend, they found out and hated on me for a while.
So anyway, I’ve been spending time with them, and they legitimately hate Israel now. It’s come up enough times that I can tell they legitimately hate them for being right wing.
Is there something happening in the Lib media bubble, or did they just actually realize Israel sucks? I know this is some nerd shit but it bothers me I can’t wrap my head around it.
Statistically, I’m pretty sure support for Israel has dropped overall compared to what it was before Oct 7. Even if there was a spike in support immediately after Al-Aqsa Flood the fact is the news from Gaza is consistently horrifying and the Israelis themselves are consistently bloodthirsty and no amount of mainstream media spin can change what people have been seeing on social media nonstop for months.
Compared to the eventual turn on the Iraq War, this one has happened pretty quickly.
