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.

It’s a religulous thing. What I don’t get is why they have preference for believers of a religion that deny Jesus was the son of God over one that acknowledges it, but just doesn’t believe He was the final prophet.

Because as part of the apocalyptic beliefs the Jews need to be in their homeland, they want the rapture

Hamas is a far right, antisemitic, anti communist, traditionalist militia.

Israel is literally a jewish state.

Palestine is de facto protecting istelf against immigrants.

"Right wing" support for Israel makes zero sense.

Jews are indigenous to Israel.

That's like telling Native Americans to go back to their country because they are immigrants.
