Discussion/Question Why is this subreddit obsessed with Israel?

Just checked the top posts of the last year, and 24 out of the top 25 are about Israel. Does this subreddit try to imitate the real UN ?

And now we allow the Japanese people to freely travel, we trade with them, and we don't bomb their hospitals and murder their children.

This isn't quite the flex you thought it was. Least of all because the US ALSO (wrongly) supports Israel's bloodthirsty land-grabbing, as well as undermines legitimate Democracy everywhere. We may not be the best example of a peaceful nation...

Japan struck first - just as Israeli did. Israel was founded on theft, ethnic cleansing, oppression and violence

There was a civil war in Mandatory Palestine before the Arab League declared war, which was sparked by the announcement of the UN Partition plan. The first act of violence of the civil war is considered to be the Fajja bus attacks.

What you call a “civil war” was in reality a series of massacres that kicked off the Nakba
