Did something happen that turned liberals on Israel? (hexbear.net)

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 support for Israel was always inflated by all the money Sheldon Adelson et al pumped into pro-Israel propaganda. I explained the situation to my boomer reactionary parents and in 15 minutes they were anti-Israel and at least supported a two state solution, they just knew literally nothing about it.

It’s just that horrific right now and support for Israel was always super soft that anyone with even a fraction of a conscious can’t support Israel.
