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 liberal media bubble does not reflect the opinions of most progressives and liberals.
The media is fanatically pro-Israel, regardless of their ongoing genocide against the Palestinians. The general population is opposed to the ongoing genocide. They're upset with the US government, and the Biden administration, for enabling and supplying Israel.
Liberal cable news is starting to notice it's severely hurting Bidens reelection chances, so they're testing the waters on being anti-Israel. Israel has its own lobbying arm in the US and is trying to paint anyone who is anti-Israel as anti-semetic which is not true.
This has been my experience as well, I overheard an older guy rant about immigrants ruining the country and the Palestinian genocide in the same sentence (and it didn't sound antisemitic, they focused on Palestine and talked about Israel instead of Jews)
I think people are genuinely starting to see through the propaganda, and most regular people don't actually want genocide despite their bigotry or biases
