It’s not a bad example, and I credit you with the intelligence to understand the principle the example is driving at, which you are choosing to ignore, that is: meanings change.
Do you really believe that girl made that t-shirt with genocidal intent? Do you think she wants Israelis wiped out?
And the phrase “bless you” was created with the intent to banish demons out of your nose, but we still say it when you sneeze.
Bad example. The intent was good and it remains good.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”, is what they chant. Calling that genocidal is Orwellian, mate. Get a grip.
Many do not. Many drop the second part entirely. For example, the t-shirt on the girl in this very video that we are discussing. Either way, adding a nice phrase to the end of a genocidal phrase doesn’t make the genocide part less bad.

Accusation reversal. “The genocidees would be genociders if the role were reversed” aka “they deserved it”.
How does it feel being a genocide apologist?
