Of course many people have their own individual reasons for opposing Israeli policy (many of them valid) but in general I would say the recent break in public opinion towards the Palestinians has to do with the rise of intersectionalism, specifically the idea that anyone lacking privilege can never do anything to harm someone with privilege, the same idea that gives a pass to minorities to be racially prejudiced because "Black people can't be racist."

The Palestinians, by virtue of being oppressed, are incapable of doing anything wrong and if you do cite something indisputably evil they've done (like when they get lucky and their rockets kill a civilian), it's actually the rich White Israelis who drove them to do it.

The Israelis are rich, have houses, and have internet connections. The Palestinians are poor and don't. The Israelis, by virtue of being richer, are automatically wrong regardless of either sides' reasons for fighting in the eyes on many on the left.
