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.
The vast majority of normies knew next to nothing about israel/Palestine prior to Oct 7th or just know it's a conflict and had been for a long time, don't know the ins and outs but tend to default towards Islamophobia. That being said, they aren't heartless, just ignorant and when a bad thing is shown to be really bad for a really long time, people will get there. Genocide is a deal breaker for a lot of people and when it's super obviously happening, people will oppose it, at least like, in opinion, they won't do anything.
