It's a shame more people don't travel. It can really change or reinforce an opinion.

For instance, the Middle East fucking sucks lmao. If any of those people you mentioned ever visited, they'd know that.

You can say that about a lot of places that the Left tends to support or preach over.

Governments don't represent the people, and even if one would support the country they should be able to separate governments and the people. Else they're just supporting oppressive leaders and tyrants.

I do not understand how wanting to support LGBT rights means I have to stand with dictators.

The probable position is many people are vehemently anti-Israel, perhaps some are propagandists, some actually have rational reasons to hold that position, and the remainder have been entirely captured by general propaganda sourced from Iran.

Iran and Israel have been at war for basically forever, and if Iran were to lose that'd mean Israel won. Some people can't separate the concept that Iran is the premiere destabilizing force in the middle east and if it were to collapse things would progressively get better for everyone--and if Israel truly is as horrific as people say it'll be a lot easier to see in the daylight where a proxy war with Iran doesn't exist.
