not to mention the context. Ms Rachel is getting raked across the coals for saying that the children on both sides of this war deserve to grow to adulthood, to make lifelong friends, and meet people with whom to raise their own kids. in all the exchange has basically gone:
it would be good if children weren’t killed
it’s antisemitic to want certain children to reach maturity
it is not antisemitic to want all children to reach maturity
well now you’re being antisemitic for saying that because it makes it sound like we want to kill kids
this is what i hate about zionism. it takes anti-semitic tropes and it packages them as being pro-jewish. they feed, not fight, hatred against jewish identity through this. and then, when jews feel scared in the communities where they are, israel says “we have a special place cordoned off just for people like you to be safe. all we have to do for you to move here is kill everyone there”

it’s a self fulfilling prophecy
Its so absurd and insidious that South Park had Kyle’s Mom go fully serious in explaining this to Netanyahu.
