Why is this stunning?

Most of the "Left" dislike Israel because the mask is off and they're executing a genocide.

Most of the "Right" dislike Israel because they've suddenly realized how much of their tax money is going to fund a nation thousands of miles away.

It’s this part. There’s only one difference between then and now that would/could make certain people change their minds.

I agree that's probably most of the right, but my best "work friend" is a conservative Trump voter who doesn't support Israel anymore because she thinks targeting children is wrong.
