Interestingly I've seen a strong pro-Israel bias, particularly on the larger subreddits (like the default ones). Some of the smaller ones do seem to have a pro-Palestine (or pro-civilian) outlook but nothing that I would describe as "strongly anti-Israel"

you should look at the r/palestine if you want see manifestation of hatred. or any heavily left leaning subs.

The default subreddits are truly awful. r/worldnews is the first one that comes to mind. They were accusing the murdered Reuters journalist of being a member of hamas.

I decided to never look at those subreddits ever again.

Whenever the topic of water in Gaza comes up in /r/worldnews, there's an oft-repeated bit of misinformation that Gaza doesn't have water because they dug up the EU-financed pipes to make rockets.

It's not quite based on nothing: there is footage of Hamas (or maybe Islamic Jihad?) digging up pipes to use for rockets and a Guardian article saying that Hamas could use the EU-financed pipes to make rockets, but as far as I can tell there isn't any evidence that the pipes Hamas are using are from critical in-use infrastructure.

One reddit commenter posted that the video of the pipe being dug up was to supply an abandoned Israeli settlement. Israel shut that water off a long time ago. I can't verify that's correct, but it sounds plausible.
