Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating (lemmy.world)

I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally and when I checked some of the users they seemed to be engaging on topics only about Israel/Palestine and they seem to be extremely active, so I have checked the Internet and there are even some older BBC article and Reddit posts discussing exactly this issue: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-23695896

There are. In the first week of the attacks, the Israel Times had a blog post about Act 2 of the war. Here's the blog post: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/our-role-in-act-2-of-the-war/

My country's news outlet even has a section that informs us about the disinformation campaigns going on on both sides and addressing/correcting what's probably the truth.

Edit: they're on Lemmy too.

What country/news outlet is that? This should be more common

Have you noticed specific instances on lemmy?

Belgium's VRT. I've seen other countries' outlets starting to do it too.
