I'm not sure how significant either of those examples are, although I agree with your point for other reasons (mainly "Extinction Rebellion").

For Israel vs. Palestine, there is a large scale propaganda war on both sides that is, unusually, actually getting through this time. Partly because X isn't filtering such things anymore, but also propaganda is a constantly moving target.
