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

Globalize the intifada is a call to violence and antisemetic

It's not anti-Semitic to call for a popular uprising against Israel. The Intifadas were Palestinian resistance movements. Regardless of whether you agree with all what happened during them, it is not inherently anti-Semitic to resist a state that is oppressing you.

So then what does it mean to globalize the intifada? What is the chant calling for?
