I never made the connection to child sacrifices until this comment. Instead, I thought about the ongoing genocide in Gaza and countless children who have been killed. Because one is real and one obviously not real and would never even register.
Asking someone to explain what they mean is totally valid
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:
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
Which is almost definitely what they were talking about.
And no where near as effective or clear as explaining the situation... Because someone posting in bad faith would let it hang, but some legitimate posters might just not see it till much later, or even at all considering blocks.
Which brings up we don't know if OPs screenshot was taken immediately after the last reply before they immediately lept to:
Which makes it sound like they specifically did not understand what was happening.
But I get the feeling this is one of those complicated things no one actually thinks about and just goes off feelings rather than logic. So even if they're right, they still don't understand why they're right.
