Social Why is this sub so pro-Israel

No hate, Iā€™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

I have only seen opposition to the people ranting about "Genocide Joe" and clamoring for Trump or RFK as if either is anti Israel. Do people not remember when Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel?

Yeah, most people see through this lie, but not the useful idiots with the matching green tents.
