So the honeymoon period is pretty much over for this latest chapter of the israel/hamas decades-long blood feud. We're right at the tail end of the week or two of grace that most geopolitical events get where normies get to umm and ahh while they try to decide which bullshit media narrative best fits in their personal interpretation of the friend/enemy distinction.
And yet I'm still seeing a massive amount of indecisiveness and trepidation among normies (i.e. people without Xwitter accounts), and it seems the usual battle lines of Team Red vs. Team Blue are not so easily drawn on this particular uncomfortable topic.
People who are otherwise well-mannered libtards are now scratching their heads as their campus commie companions call for jihad and total kike death. Moderates don't understand why Joe Biden just hugged a guy who supposedly blew up a hospital full of children. Conservatives are... circumcised dicksuckers as always and will never miss an opportunity to grift and subvert with their shitty "the left has gone insane" takes, but the "conservative audience" class of right-leaning rubes is genuinely asking questions as to why we're defending desert people who blow up churches remorselessly and why we're sending them even more weapons and bombs while nobody can afford gas.
It's worth noting that this conflict is not only dividing people along unconventional lines, it's also disrupting and confusing the pundit-audience relationship. There are loads of anon accounts, talking heads and (Allah forgive me for uttering this word) journalists who have revealed their true loyalties to their viewers and are getting reamed for it on both sides of the aisle. The longer this drags on in a state of "no clear good guy", the harder it is to mop up public opinion when it becomes apparant that Israel just completely ethnically cleansed Gaza of Palestinians.
There is no coming back to Gaza after this, there is no ability to dance around allegations that the place is an open-air prison any more because it has just been made an unliveable hellscape with no working infrastructure. This is the Final Solution that Israel wanted for Gaza all along and when the smoke clears and the dust settles and the world looks on in horror, they're going to be stupidly wondering why all these goyim seem so shocked, why they haven't been captured by the media narrative of poor little Israel's struggle against antisemitic terrorists. In their haze of bloodthirsty contempt for Palestinians they're going to end up with a genocidal tale of gruesome cruelty which outpaced any attempt to groom the public into a israel-synpathetic stance.
"What do you mean they think we're the bad guys? Didn't you lean on the pundits? Didn't you release the doctored images? What about the Holocaust, did you try evoking that?"

@CatLord @dickflatteningenthusiast I think this is the key though:
>while nobody can afford gas
Every reneged domestic promise to both the left (healthcare, education) and the right (immigration, infrastructure) has been couched in high-minded language about fiscal frugality but then when Scheckel Goldbergstein in some pretend-country gets a hair up his ass they can suddenly whip out wads of cash in $100 billion dollar chunks.

@dickflatteningenthusiast Good post but I haven't really seen people surprised that their pundit is supporting the Arabs. There is some WowJustWowing from team red about LITERAL TERRIST SUPPORTERS but haven't seen the public upset by a pro-pali stance. In the same vein, I've only seen "mask off" from people, whom you'd otherwise expect to be moderates because they pose as such, giving full-throated endorsement to violent ethnic-cleansing. The overall metapolitical conflict seems to be falling more against the Israeli side as basic observation makes neutral people ask "Wait, what the fuck are you doing? Why are you suddenly totally pro-Israel? What even is Israel?"
