I hope I will not get downvoted because I’m genuinely wondering

Lemmy almost has no users from neither Israel or Palestine, however most of communities filled with Anti Israel content, I even tried muting all news related communities, but now I see anti Israel content in completely unrelated communities, like !android@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz

Is there a reason why Lemmy is so fixated on Israel/Palestine? Neither of other world conflicts get even close in terms of attention. It’s neither a case on my microblogging Fediverse account or my most “algoritmic” social media, even kbin part of the Threadiverse seems not as obsessed with it, what’s so different about Lemmy?

(Sorry for a bit clickbait-y title)

Edit: I actually might take down this post because half of people in replies completely misunderstood it

    This is a logical fallacy. For example just because the Uighur issue receives less present attention (because it’s not NEW) doesn’t make the latest attempt at genocide more acceptable.

      We’re not sure how much is real and how much is Western propaganda. It’s not like our own nations don’t lie to us.
