Jews are not a uniform voting bloc, divided on many issues, Israel being one of them.
In the 1980s through the aughts, it was a lot easier to turn a blind eye to the inhumane treatment of Palestinians because media agencies controlled the narrative. Once the internet allowed for unvetted video to leak the pubic have a better grasp on what is actually going on.
In other controversies, the ubiquity if phone cameras plays a significant part, but I don't know how many phone cameras are in Palestine.
I think it is this, how the internet affects narratives of violence against oppressed peoples, that drives the save the kids from the internet policies like KOSA and SESTA/FOSTA. The US federal government doesn't really care about children, but it does care about leaks that embarrass the administration or the state.
I think this is a good observation, though I'm not exactly sure how it applies to my comment, unless you're trying to imply that people as a whole, Jews included, are more divided on Israel today than in the 80's because they have better access to information from more varied perspectives.
I'd say that sounds true.
Never said that they were, but I imagine theres a notable percentage who would be very single issue on the subject.
