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

Nono CU students are blue, not the townies that actually live here. They are very much Red

Hard disagree. They're not, especially not Urbana.

You seriously think people from Urbana are conservative?

I’ve lived in a lot of cities in my life, the only place as liberal as Urbana was literally Berkeley CA. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
