Why is all of Lemmy filled with Anti Israel content? (fedia.io)

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 [email protected] and [email protected]

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

There is a lot of leftist/communist who run lemmy. I guess they are aint jewish and pro palestine. My guess

I know plenty of Jewish folks who aren’t happy with the Israeli government and how this is being handled.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Being anti Israel is not anti Jewish. Please don’t conflate the two.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

considering Israel has no problem killing Palestinian Jews, where does that put them on the anti-semitic spectrum?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I know, I am completely not surprised by them, I am talking specifically about communities with zero relation to politics, to Israel or to Palestine. I apologize if I haven't made it clear enough in my original post
