In what world would you ever see people like Honda (conservative minded) take the side of Palestine? Back in the day if you were a Con/Neo-Con you would always take Israel's side on this topic.
On the flip side you're seeing lefties like Skinny falling on the Israeli end.
It's a fascinating change to old political dynamics.

I am absolutely NOT in favor of the Israelis here. Come on.
All I do is point out when some bullshit occurs, especially speaking against anti-Semitism (and don't confuse that with blind support of Israeli actions). Or like when people were asking "Why are Canada and US so strongly supporting Israel?". I explain that - it's because they are allies. You have to have allies in this world, and you have to support them. The other side has allies with some pretty nasty people, so you have to stand against that.
When your allies do something bad, you have to call them out. If that hospital attack was actually Israel, things might be a bit different today.. Biden even arrived in Israel a few hours after that happened!
I take issue with fake news and anti-Semitism, so I make a post pointing out my thoughts. I am not blindly supporting one side or the other. I am against genocide, imagine that! I am against terrorism too!
As for Israel, I look at what they are doing similar to what Britain did in the Colonial days. It's the same shit, a few hundred years later... They take land for themselves, or give it to others, or basically "strongly support" letting Jews basically start a nation there. What can I do about that now? What can you do about Canada? They have given up colonies before, should they do it again? I don't know...
All I know is, there's nothing much I can do about it, except witness history taking place, and just hope regular ass people who just want to live their lives don't get fucked over so much.
Imagine if this Zionist migration happened after WW2 instead of WW1... Would they have just given them a piece of Germany instead when they split it with the Russians?
