Does anyone have a clue as to how the public freak out subreddit went from chud central to actually be quite good (very pro Palestine and slaps down actual antisemitism)? (hexbear.net)

I was under the impression that Israel's active genocide has significantly increased support for Palestine, even within otherwise apolitical groups.

Which is funny, because I remember when this all kicked off, libs were saying "This was a stupid move by Hamas! Their brutality will cost them all of their international support!" Except, of course, Hamas knows their enemy way better than any chauvinist lib. They knew Israel was going to be Israel, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was exactly what they were counting on.
