I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally and when I checked some of the users they seemed to be engaging on topics only about Israel/Palestine and they seem to be extremely active, so I have checked the Internet and there are even some older BBC article and Reddit posts discussing exactly this issue: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-23695896

Seems likely. I've been an internet leftist for a long time now and that sub has always been disinterested in the left, but the level of outright hostility recently is extreme.

Bro what are you talking about, Reddit has always been pretty much leftist and even more so with popular subs like politics or world news.

Leftism is not counterculture/ anti system as much as people here like to think. Face it. It is mainstream and THE system.
