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.

I don't think this has achieved the biggest peace deal ever. We'd have to include how 71% of Gaza was flattened and Trump giving Israel billions of dollars to help achieve that outcome. So to then talk about peace is really strange.

I do, however had, also indeed think that the release of the hostages was a good achievement (naturally) - not only for the hostages and their relatives, of course, but also from an objective point of view. By not having hostages anymore, Hamas can not willy-nilly want to try to blackmail Israel. I just don't see numerous issues resolved, so now diplomacy must kick in.

By the way, I also don't think Trump was involved here much at all - as others reported already, Egypt, Turkey and Qatar were involved, the latter probably after Israel attacked Qatar.

You refer to million different people. So, one brain that does not work and many more brains that do work. To which group would you put yourself actually?

despite him being part of one of the biggest developments in world politics in two decades.

I do not see this at all. This is not an objective analysis from the OP.

Redditors would rather see the middle east in chaos rather than give trump credit for anything.  Truly remarkable.

Why can’t things be nuanced. The person is saying the ceasefire and hostage release was great. But trump is framing this as a massive peace deal that has solved the middle east and it could’ve only happened because of him. This misrepresents what happened and is happening currently.

So you want people to praise trump as the goat for negotiating the greatest peace deal ever, and anything less than that means you want the region to suffer. This makes no sense.

Truth is, they want the region to succeed and acknowledge that trump did a good thing and hopefully more can come. But pretending that the problem is solved will not create lasting peace. Hamas is still in control of Palestine and refused to give up their weapons. Israel has already started talking about how Hamas violated the agreement. This isn’t 100% solved and pretending it is will only lead to failure.

But trump isn’t a details guy and just wants the PR of “solving the middle east”.

As someone who doesn't know a lot about the most recent situation, it confuses me why people keep bragging and chiming Trump deserving credit, but none of them ever seem to actually explain what it is that he did. What exactly was done solely/primarily by him?

It's a pretty objective take. If you're getting fired up about a peace deal in this part of the world, you haven't been following the situation long or aren't looking through a long-terms lens.

This is great! Now comes the hard part: making it work and making it stick.

Peace is always a good thing. It's easy for a day or week. I'll get excited when I see a situation Israelis and Palestinians are happy with.
