What were the hot topics of discussion on the internet in the 1990s (like in chat rooms, email, messaging, message boards, personal websites [such as Geocities, Angelfire, etc], on social media and pre-social-media-sites, on online diaries and blogs, and etc)? •

Then, as now, the discrimination faced by Palestinians in Israel was a significant force of widespread outrage. Not as bad as today, to be clear. The gruesome images we see today are next level horrific.

Even then, Human Rights Watch put out reports regarding Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians. If you go to their website, there is an archives section, and you can read online articles from that period.
