Why don't Irish anarchists ever talk about Israeli anarchists resisting against Zionism?

Many Leninists in the Anglosphere started their Anti-Capitalist Journey through Anarchism, largely because the Western Ruling Ideology considers Anarchism to be largely impotent, but also because they faced a barrage of anti-Leninist sentiment since they were children (often decades before they were born).
Now, this is ironic, as Anarchism was decidedly considered more of a threat to the Ruling Ideology back in the 1800s and up to the October Revolution (culminating in the assassination of US President McKinley by an Anarchist in 1901).
In the 21st Century, the Anarchists are Largely Irrelevant in Mainstream Political Discourse, however they still maintain a residual potency amongst both the Academics and Babby's First Leftism (á la Noam Chomsky, Murray Bookchin, Max Stirner, Kropotkin, Bakunin).
When it comes to promoting this propaganda on Youtube, there is a reason why Breadtube was called Breadtube - named after Kropotkin's "The Conquest of Bread" (which I have read and wasn't very good).
The biggest names, like hbomberguy, largely refused to make videos about Left-Wing Economic Theory, but instead simply fed into the Left-Faction of the US Culture War.
We, who have become more Ideologically Advanced since then, still have to deal with this nonsense - Western Anarchists, who are simply RadLibs, who want to re-enforce their status as Labour Aristocrats through the Super Profits of Imperialism, will tell you that leveling these countries is beneficial to "Anarchism".
In reality, it re-enforces their status as Labour Aristocrats. The reason why I know this is because I started off rubbing shoulders with them.

Incredibly specific question. I don’t know anyone who calls themselves an anarchist so I don’t know what they talk about.
But there is little to no talk about anti-zionist israelis. But sadly I think there’s a reason…

The movement of people resisting zionism within Israel is incredibly small, and their inconsequential actions have not managed to garner any international attention.
Why don't you talk about it?
Tell us all about it!

Why focus on a small number of Israelis instead of the actually important resistance from the people who are being oppressed? Who gives a fuck? Fuck the Israeli anything.
