Nah there's a pretty stark shift right when she started to talk about Gaza.

It's a pretty common trend, anyone that doesn't tow the Israeli party line is pretty quickly outcast or opposed.

It's sort of like Malala, and how she remained committed to socialism and Islam. I think ten years ago for a while the western boosters who brought her to international attention thought she'd flip and be a useful stooge. When she turned out to not be, we heard less and less of her.

Same deal with Greta Thunberg, who is something more dangerous than someone who can be bought: she's someone who is principled for climate justice and human rights.
