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.

Liberals are generally pro-war before or while it's happening, and anti-war after their side has killed a bunch of people and they start feeling the guilt of their previous opinions. See: Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Libya, Syria, etc.

It's some weird Christian shit where the small and weak are inherently pure and virtuous or something
