I suspect it is more to do with religion than Israeli politics that the prolific pro-Israel posters are so vocal here. Understandable, we usually support our own, even if we slightly disagree with some things they are doing.
Like you, I went to a British uni. in the 80s and agree with what I've read in your posts.
Sadly, there is a group of poster here that will bully those not supporting Israel killing so many, there is gaslighting and calling anyone disagreeing with them 'antisemitic' and general character assassination. We need to hear both sides of this conflict.
