Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Since the start of current intensification of genocide on Palestinians, the amount of UAposting dropped sharply. Like SHARPLY, not even normally as in bored libs changing topics. At the same time, especially at reddit, but at lemmy too, there is sudden flood of zionist posts even on pro-Palestinian subs.

I think it's just a symptom of media focus (which is appropriate, although their bias is disgusting) and a slowly petering out focus on Ukraine for the last year-ish. People had already grown bored of Ukraine and were finally openly saying "no more funding for Ukraine." Plus Israel is like basically attached to the US like docked penises. Ukraine was just a proxy to manipulate against the Russian state by dangling money and false promises of joining NATO. The US state dept would probably actually literally do a full war if some country like Iran tried to destroy it. Ukraine, well, we aren't at war with Russia (directly), so there you have that. Fake friends and such. I'm sure once Israel gets their genocide over with and the world goes back to generally forgetting Palestinians are dying the news will find something to talk about in Ukraine. Give it a couple weeks.
