I was mocking the way you said it. Here, let me say it plainly, so maybe you can stop misunderstanding.

This article is saying parents should be concerned about their kids seeing the violence being perpetrated by Hamas. They are not saying the same thing about the violence being committed by the IDF and Israeli government. That comes across as one being more acceptable than the other.

Was that clear enough?

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?

  No, I don’t know what you’re getting at, because you’re either not taking a second to think about what’s being said, or you’re doing this intentionally. THE POINT IS THAT THEY’RE NOT ALSO CONDEMNING THE VIOLENCE BEING PERPETRATED BY ISRAEL. Was that clear enough, or are you going to continue to be completely obtuse?
