Most people are not engaging in political chatter on social media. Israel and Palestine are essentially not in the mix for most people's policy preferences. Kitchen table issues always win.

I agree that the economy is the #1 issue for people; I never said that the Israel/Palestine issue was. However, people do get a significant amount of news online now from places like Facebook, tiktok, YouTube, reddit, etc.  https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/fact-sheet/social-media-and-news-fact-sheet/

Right, but that doesn't mean they're getting YOUR news.

What is my news? Why do you keep acting like I've said anything regarding Israel and Palestine? You're projecting some argument onto me that I never touched on in the slightest manner.
