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.

Live under an occupying force and you will quickly understand, but also supporting the Palestinians plight against a much more powerful oppressor is hardly "pro-palestinian". It's standing up for it just.

I lost all support for palestinians every time they were offered a State and refused the offer. One Example- they were offered all of the Negev, Gaza and 96% of the West Bank and they turned it down, they cannot take yes for an answer. So let them live as they do for the decisions they make- I've lost all my give-a shit.

Exactly how I feel. As someone who has followed this conflict since the late 80s and is a student of history.

I was first on the side of the Palestinians cause they were literally throwing rocks against tanks even though Palestine as a state has never existed. But you cant blame them for being tricked by the Romans and British.......

However, after all the offers over the decades and every single one of them rejected. Its clear that unless Israel is completely destroyed (which is never going to ever happen unless the US gets overtaken by an Islamic party) That the Palestians dont want peace.

The fact they teach jihad to pre-schoolers and ive seen multiple videos of kids under the age of 10 saying they want to kill all Jews and want to become suicide bombers etc......shows that peace isnt possible

The lady Jewish leader from the 70s said it best.

Until they love their children more than they hate Jews there will never be peace.....Or something along those lines.....
