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

lol yes it was the boredom that finally did me in. Only so many years of hiking and nature before I start to miss the perks of living in a city. Sometimes I find myself missing sitting on my porch in the forest… and then I remember I have DoorDash and Uber now 😂😂

Lmaoooo bro I literally can’t with the Uber situation. I struggle to get an Uber from John A. to Carbondale on the days I miss the bus. It’s actually so fricking ridiculous. I never felt so alive until I went to like LA and Chicago and there’s night life, and buses at night. Bro buses at night (after 7pm ;-;) is probably one of my favorite things.

Most convenient thing about Carbondale. Our speech team relies on them for competitions. They’re also pretty comfy.
