The anti Zionist movement is growing among progressives and there is more protests than ever. It seems that in the era of social media with Leftists being more prone to hysteria and mass social justice protests Israel can't get away with what they used to.

Progressives in Europe have disliked Israel for 60 years and being opposed to Israel is a standard leftist opinion in Europe. Social media has a lot of crossbreeding between American and European ideas and political culture. Considering that the anti Israel stance makes a lot more sense it isn't strange that pro Palestinian European redditors can spread the narrative on the sub that becomes the consensus. In reality there are only three groups that like Israel, Jews, American elites, and evangelical boomers. More and more Americans belong to neither of these groups.
