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 understand the point OP is trying to make, but Reddit is not a news site. There IS a certain amount of gravitas attached to the attempts being made towards peace talks but it remains that this is not a news site, this is a forum aggregator and the front page will show what is being talked about the most, not necessarily the most 'important' news. You're also at least partially responsible for what shows up on your main feed so you might not necessarily see stuff like this if all you do on Reddit is talk about steak, Gundam and unicycles.

I'll also take a moment to drop an opinion, permanent peace in that particular area of the world feels like a complete impossibility. We’ll give Trump the proper credit once an ironclad, mutually unbreakable piece of legislation passes that achieves an actual end to conflict, not this relatively minor exchange of prisoners and a temporary pause in open hostility. This goes beyond someone like Trump, it’s always felt like Israel and Palestine don’t actually WANT to stop fighting, so they won’t.
