It changed insofar as going from "they're a pretty horrible fascist society" to "they're straight up Nazis".
Not really.
You're commiting a fallacy, I believe and hope unintentionally. Israel has always been the aggressor, I've never contradicted that. However, defending a population associated with a vile terrorist group at a time said group has just attacked is simply bad politics - you'll not get many allies and now your detractors have a concrete event to point towards when dismissing your position. At present, Israel has effectively admitted to wanting a genocide and Hamas has waved the white flag multiple times, so it's the perfect moment, politically, to defend the Palestine.
