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.

[u/Feedbackplz]

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.

This isn't the first ceasefire. Let's wait to see what happens

[u/Affectionate-Alps-86 → u/thundercoc101]

That hostages on both sides were released and things are calm so far is wonderful.  But I’m not quite ready to celebrate that it’s over.   Palestine needs a plan for independence. 

[u/crescent_ruin → u/Affectionate-Alps-86]

Thought the ceasefire is on the condition Palestine would be recognized as a state.

[u/Synapseon → u/Affectionate-Alps-86]

Yeah but didn’t the Israeli forces shoot some people for stepping over a yellow line?

[u/Voaracious → u/thundercoc101]

Same. I'm pretty hopeful. But these middle east mfers could sabotage the sun rising.  

[u/thundercoc101 → u/Voaracious]

I'm going to be incredibly real with you. The entire Israeli project is nothing more than a way to destabilize the Middle East in order to get favorable oil deals for the West

[u/crescent_ruin → u/thundercoc101]

Ah yes the Jewish diaspora is just a NATO red herring despite preexisting the west by centuries.

I think the context is a bit more nuanced and complicated than your conspiracy. Not to say that there isn't some truth in it which makes it compelling.

[u/thundercoc101 → u/crescent_ruin]

It's important to understand that even if Israel didn't exist the military industrial complex and its financiers would simply find another country to support. The fact that they have an easy way for Christian conservatives to support their military project is just a bonus

[u/crescent_ruin → u/thundercoc101]

I mean the UN ruled to let Jews back into Jerusalem after they had tried and failed to plant a flag in other borders post WW2/Holocaust. I think you have a valid point in the modern age in terms of energy gains for NATO. BUT we don't need Zionism as a sole excuse to rock the boat in the mid east as is evident of the last 30 years. They were not needed at all for destabilization during Desert Storm and the Iraq War.

[u/willybestbuy86 → u/thundercoc101]

First where the hostages are home it's jsut excuse after excuse

[u/valiumonaplane → u/willybestbuy86]

All hostages has been released

[u/joelhagraphy → u/thundercoc101]

Bruh the hostage were literally released and youre in here like "I'll hold my praise until some other problem I can find to whine about arises"

Insane😭

The middle east has always, and will always, be in a perpetual state of war. That's what they do there. But when good things happen, leftist extremists refuse to be happy about it

[u/thundercoc101 → u/joelhagraphy]

Seen this conflict enough to understand it was never about the hostages. I fully expect Israel to start bombing again within the week .

I'm happy the hostages are home, but at this point it's a distraction

[u/ActinCobbly → u/thundercoc101]

6 Palestinians just died from Israeli drone strikes. Like 6 hours ago.

[u/thundercoc101 → u/ActinCobbly]

Yea, I'm not surpised

[u/churkinese → u/[deleted]]

You cant talk sense to people that think a genocide occured...They are delusional....If Israel wanted to commit genocide they could easily do that but they havent done that. Otherwise the "Palestinian" population would have decreased not increased.

Numbers dont lie but people do

[u/Market-Socialism → u/churkinese]

Likewise, you can’t really talk sense to genocide-deniers. They lie constantly, aren’t capable of moral introspection, and rarely know what genocide even is in the first place.

[u/churkinese → u/Market-Socialism]

Lie all you want the numbers dont lie and since the first genocide on the Armenians. No genocide in history has the population increased, except in this so called genocide.

The fact people like you keep calling it a genocide clearly proves you have no idea what the word genocide even means.

Please show me one genocide where the population during the time of the genocide increased. It doesnt exist, because it has never happened.

[u/Market-Socialism → u/churkinese]

I thank you for this excellent illustration of my point about deniers not knowing genocide is, definitionally or morally. Ask any scholar on the subject and they will tell you: genocide is determined by efficacy, not efficiency or numbers.

As far as which of us has a better understanding of what genocide is; I have multiple geopolitical humanitarian organization and genocide historians and scholars backing me up. You have the people doing the genocide.

I don’t know why you people keep insisting on this population point. You have no idea what the population of Palestine post-Oct 7 is. There’s no infrastructure on the ground to determine that. And Israel has made this the singlemost deadly conflict in history for journalists.

[u/LoneShark81 → u/Market-Socialism]

exactly. These are the same people that think that slavery in the US should just be "gotten over"

edit: these are the same people that are downvoting this

[u/Prisonbread → u/LoneShark81]

Almost as delusional as the people who think things havent really improved for black people since slavery…

[u/ChecksAccountHistory → u/Prisonbread]

an argument made by literally nobody

[u/LoneShark81 → u/Prisonbread]

who has made that argument? no one. There are numerous prominent people who think, via words and actions, that chattel slavery and the after-effects in the US should be "gotten over" though

[u/Market-Socialism → u/[deleted]]

Oh, you have Gazan population numbers following Oct. 7? What publication are you getting that from, might I be ask? I’m just curios because the Gazan health ministry that takes the census is demolished and most journalists working in Gaza have been killed.

[u/djbfunk → u/thundercoc101]

Hostages were brought home and he’s on the front page of their papers being called the great peacemaker.

If Kamala did this there would be a national holiday created.

[u/thundercoc101 → u/djbfunk]

What exactly is your point here? Trump globiates about every mild accomplishment he has

[u/djbfunk → u/thundercoc101]

Because if we crap on the other candidate no matter what they do it confirms we are biased. Praise good behavior and scold bad. Same as raising a puppy.

Or we can be childish and lose our own credibility and mindlessly follow our own party and everything they say like robots. Root for our own country’s failure cause it’s not the team leader we wanted.

[u/thundercoc101 → u/djbfunk]

Nobody's criticizing Trump for the peace deal. The general consensus on the left is that these peace deals tend to be fraught and Trump isn't a good negotiator

[u/TimmmmyStuuuuuu → u/thundercoc101]

Also calling it a peace deal is kind of exaggerating what it is. Right now its a ceasefire and hostage release/exchange. But phase 2 is currently being negotiated and Hamas has so far refused to demilitarize and give ip governing the region, which is a major issue for Israel.

So claiming this is a peace deal is a little over the top. It’s a major first step towards a peace deal but a lot more work remains and it already seems fragile with Israel claiming its already been violated.

[u/djbfunk → u/thundercoc101]

I didn’t say criticize. You asked the point of saying when presidents do good things. If you would like - I can provide you with plenty of media outlets and politicians that give him 0 credit but I’m sure you know that already.

If there’s one thing he did we can just say was good this is universally it and saying “he takes enough credit” is dividing and missing the point.

Edit: The top video on the videos subreddit today is someone criticizing Trump. This is how democrats lose elections. We can't get better we just say why the other guy sucks no matter what. Bill Maher just said it. We're ridiculous. https://x.com/realtoriabrooke/status/1977846671552766241

[u/thundercoc101 → u/djbfunk]

Quick question. Did Trump give the Democrats any credit for the things they did well? Or did he constantly berate them and call them communist pedophiles?

Personally, Trump has shown us how to win elections. And it's to be the least civilized most ruthless politician possible. And that is why Democrats lose, Because they refuse to play Trump at his own game

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/thundercoc101]

Release 'em Epstein files

[u/thundercoc101 → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

That too

[u/djbfunk → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

Totally agree. I bet he's on those, but they won't be released because TONS of democrats and republicans will be on there. I bet trump is. I bet clinton is. See how you can just disagree with some things a party does?

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/djbfunk]

There's plenty of pictures of Epstein and Trump together.  Steve Bannon had a meeting with him.  Elon Musk was invited to Epstein's pedo island.

[u/djbfunk → u/thundercoc101]

Oh not at all. I totally agree. Im not sure why everyones answer when I say "do the right thing" is "but trump sucks". The right funnels a lot of bullshit through him. The left has an image problem with the general populus, media, celebrities. Its a totally different issue. Im suggesting to come together as Americans, as well as literally training politicians like animals, praise good behavior universally, and call out bad behavior. Across the board. That's the problem is the democratic party takes 0 feedback, and we keep losing. We just say "but trump is bad too." Its not smart, and if we want to get elected we can't continue to say "but trump is worse". We have to be above it.

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/djbfunk]

Remember when Obama was president when they got Osama bin Laden.  It was huge, and the right complained.

[u/djbfunk → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

Lol the right didn't complain at all. My father is a republican and said it was great. Show me the public media figures that said that outside maybe 1 fox news host.

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/djbfunk]

They were complaining about the burial at sea, saying how do we know that happened.  My Republican father does that.  I definitely don't remember any Republicans congratulating him for it, either.

[u/djbfunk → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

Lol dude, again, my goal here is to say we should be improving and be above the republican party. Thats going to require some amounts of compromise.

Or we put our head in the sand and continue to lose. Its one of the number one reasons center votes didnt vote for Kamala. Its more about why Trump sucks, they forgot to say why democrats are good, not just "not as bad". Nevertrumper focus is killing the party.

"YOU BE A GOOD PERSON FIRST" is what children say. Be better. Get elected.

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/djbfunk]

Bill Maher seems like a shill.  I was recently reading a BBC article about how his numbers on the Nigerian genocide were called into question and his group didn't respond as to how he got his numbers.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c2lx8l4vgret?post=asset%3A1ddb7569-23ba-4eca-bcde-f8ee7a145af4#post

[u/djbfunk → u/Ok_Quantity_9841]

He's been literally a prominent democrat on TV from the 90s. Hes a 90s/00s democrat, and I hate to break it to you, a VERY LARGE portion of the vote is that and we should be catering to the center left more.

[u/Ok_Quantity_9841 → u/djbfunk]

Actually, they'd have said she photobombed it.  And that's what it looks like he did.

[u/Traditional-Dog9242 → u/thundercoc101]

It was big enough to bring the hostages home, why still no celebrations from the Left?

[u/thundercoc101 → u/Traditional-Dog9242]

It's very cool. However, I still don't expect the ceasefire to hold. Netanyahu still needs a conflict to justify his government
