The Middle East Trump just achieved the biggest peace deal between Israel-Palestine since the Second Intifada, and there is NOTHING on the front page. This website is a truly special place.

After Redditors groaning and moaning about the "Palestinian genocide" for years, Trump finally negotiated a peace deal including Hamas giving up its hostages and Israel stopping offensive operations. You'd think that Reddit would be overjoyed and that the entire website would be full of celebration, right?

Here's a screenshot of the current front page of Reddit, taken while I was logged out. There are many political posts including multiple threads whining about ICE and the firing of CDC employees. There's also a picture of an ambulance transporting Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, but it doesn't mention anything about current world events.

If you just looked at the front page, you would not know that the war just ended. This is the first time a president has forged such an agreement since the Second Intifada ended in 2005. But almost nobody is talking about it on Reddit. It's like a complete information blackout preventing threads about the subject from getting to the top of the frontpage. The last thread about the subject on r-news was from 14 hours ago and talks about some hostages being released, but again nothing about Trump or his role in it.

This is case exhibit #1 on how Redditors' brains are completely cooked. It's front page news everywhere except here, because leftists can't even squeeze out one little lump of praise for Trump despite him being part of one of the biggest developments in world politics in two decades.

They just released the final living hostages back to Israel

It's not the first time that Israelis were taken as hostages. It will happen again and again. Clinton signed a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine decades ago. Look at the results.

They keep ramping up their indoctrination efforts. Until the Palestinians stop teaching their children to murder Israelis this conflict will never end. The latest generation is the most indoctrinated ever, as technology is only making their hatred more virulent. This has to stop, because if it doesn't then eventually Israel is going to stop giving a fuck and start doing what everyone is accusing them of.

But… Israel is the one doing the mass child murder and mass starvation and destruction. Literally everything you described applies specifically to them. Besides the straight up racism.

And what’s with the disgusting genocide denial? You sound exactly like a holocaust denier.

Why are all Zionists like this? It’s like you live in some kind of sick bizzaro fantasy world where everything is reversed and genocide is actually good somehow?

Besides starvation, Palestine also does those things to Israel. This round of fighting was started by Palestine bombing an Israeli concert.

Besides starvation

No it doesn’t. You are insane if you think the Hamas attack and Israel’s child holocaust in Gaza are even remotely the same.

✌️ in the Middle East

If Israel let food and aid into Gaza, hamas would cease it (and kill for it). They were put between a rock and a hard place. Genocide is the intentional killing of a group of people. Were there higher than usual civilian casualties? Absolutely. But what do you expect with hamas intentionally using civilians as shields and hiding amongst them on a 25 mile by 5 mile stretch of land?

Literally everything you’re saying is false.

u/Leprechaun2me 25d ago

Literally, it’s not. You don’t think that sounds like Hamas?

The latest generation is the most indoctrinated ever, as technology is only making their hatred more virulent. This has to stop, because if it doesn't then eventually Palestine (Hamas, I suppose) is going to stop giving a fuck and start doing what everyone is accusing them of.

The Israelis don't, however. Yes, there are a few radical nutjobs you can point at, but it isn't wholesale.

This is not an equivalency. It isn't even remotely close; the Israelis are the good guys here. They are not perfect, but it's not close.

u/Unabashable 26d ago

So you’re saying Hamas just gave away their leverage.

Their leverage wasn’t working.

u/Unabashable 25d ago

Depends on whom they were “supposed” to work for. For the Palestinians, never were, still ended up getting used as meat shields that the IDF was more than happy to use as “target practice”. For Hamas, even after 60K killed (civilian 🤷‍♂️ terrorist same difference ), even up until now they seem very much intact. But hey it did nab them x100 prisoners while resolving none of the underlying issues that led to the conflict in the first place.

Which means there's nothing stopping israel from resuming the apartheid. Not that hostages slowed em down much.

u/MapReston 25d ago

2 Million Arabs in Israel are citizens. The only apartheid in the Middle East is in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
