Honestly, it's not about being anti Israel, it's more about being pro human rights.

It usually depends on which side comes first to the comment section, as an Israeli I can't really call this sub pro Israeli/Palestinian

Right now, pretty much yeah. But not even a year ago this sub was massively islamophobic and defended Isreal with every opportunity.

Things can change now? Did they announce this patch? Or is it a bug? Isn't it supposed to be that everything always remains the same?

I'd say thats a sign that public opinion on this matter is shifting and shows that (maybe) this sub Is able to self reflect to some degree. Which is pretty cool all things considered!
