Some people choose to absorb propaganda and bad news about One Very Specific issue.

I imagine that this might help people stay calm in the midst of all this chaos. Our personal challenges, including aging, climate change, everything TrumpCo is doing, wars and horrors... it's too much for some people to look at all at once. I think they feel better if they can focus on one thing. Why they choose a thing they can't do anything about, I don't know. Maybe that's where the propaganda comes in. There's a very well-funded online community of People who are Very Upset about Gaza and I think they feel special because the rest of us Just Don't Get It. History will judge us, ya know?

I hope your further tests come back negative.
