    OP is implying parents should be ok with Israeli violence, but not ok with Palestinian violence.

    Parents should want their kids to see violence committed by Israel, but they should want their kids to not be able to see violence committed by Palestinians?

    Why?

    Because they were removed, I’ll type up the sanitized version: the parent comment is pointing out the author of the article is singling out Palestinian violence, but is ignoring the violence, the genocide, being carried out by the Israeli government and the IDF.

    You’re still not making sense.

    If this is a pro-Israel, anti-Palestinian propaganda plot, then why should parents want their kids to see the violence, the genocide, that is being carried out by the Israeli government and the IDF, but not the atrocities and the terrorism committed by the Palestinians and by Hamas?

      I’m not sure how many times I can say it. The point is the singling out of one, and staying silent about the other. It’s about the hypocrisy. I’m not sure why this is so difficult, friend.

        That’s an argument, sure.

        It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, at least if presented as an argument criticizing Israel.

        “We want kids to see all the atrocities committed by our side, but none of the atrocities committed by our enemies” would at the very least be an unconventional approach to war time propaganda.

        You know what I’m getting at?
