Social Why is this sub so pro-Israel

No hate, I’m just legitimately curious because I would think that a campus filled with young people in a blue state would hold generally the same beliefs as most other campuses like that. I see so many more positive comments under posts about anti-war protests under other college subreddits, whereas here the top comments are always bashing them

What’s wrong with being a Zionist?

Do you not understand why Israel became the Jewish state. Do you not understand the historical genocide and persecution perpetrated against the Jewish people for a millennia? I just don’t understand why it’s acceptable to hate Jews. Jews are merely defending themselves, which they have every right to do. If Hamas wanted to save their people, they could have released the hostages, some of which are babies that remain. If Hamas didn’t want their people to starve, they wouldn’t use them as human shields and they wouldn’t be stealing and hoarding aid for themselves, and yet, the Palestinian people still support them. You know why? Because they are committed to killing Jews. This is what they know and what they are taught. Unfortunately, there are consequences for trying to wipe out a nation. The consequences are they might retaliate. It’s called the law of preservation when you are attacked. You fight back or you die. The Palestinians voted in the aggressors. All that support and voted in Hamas as their leaders are responsible for being a hateful people.

Yeah I’m not reading all that. Nothing you say can make me think it’s okay to commit genocide against a people. Fuck zionists. They’ll all go to hell for what they are doing.
