I left reddit about 2 years ago before the oct 7th attacks, so I never really saw the reaction over there. I didn’t expect it to be like lemmy, reddits always been a bit islamaphobic and quick to take up US state department propaganda, but I assumed by now though that since most on there are liberals under 50 that theyd be somewhere around “not a genocide, but Israel is committing atrocities and a ceasefire would be good.” on the issue

But someone was calling out reddit in a thread about the flotilla being bombed and I looked into it and the thread on worldnews was full of denials and calling it a false flag. Looked more into worldnews and every thread on the issue is full of zionist saying things along the lines of “anything is justified to get rid of the evil terrorists hamas” or downplaying the atrocities.

Is this just a worldnews issue? Is it the mods over there? Is there some other sub with more pro-palestine news that split off? Has it been like this for the whole conflict?

    I have a few opinions on the religion of Islam. None of those opinions would EVER justify bombing unarmed civilians. It’s like any other religion, it has some extremely outdated beliefs if you follow it to the letter, but it can also just be an extremely normal belief system. It’s like bombing and starving Mexico and saying that it’s okay because they’re Catholics.
