A 4000 word strawman complete with another strawman wrapped within the larger strawman narrative.

Is their a section of Isreali society that sees this as a zero sum game? (Every Arab child is one more brick in the wall so to speak) of course. However there is also a section of Plaestinian society...A much larger, much more politcaly active, and much better armed section that think the exact same thing.

Of course this is how the author feels as well. Any show of sympathy toward Jewish children is sympathy that is taken away from Arab children. Couple that with a nice dose of good ol fashion Arab victim "everything is black and white" mentallity and you get a diatrbae of how we demonize children and it's institutionilized.

Then to try an extrapolate the arguement into somekind of reflection of US race relations is a trip into bizzarro world. As if the phrase tough neighborhood is execlusivly used in such narrow terms. I have never heard the Isreali-Palistine conflict framed in such a way. An utter trash paragraph that serves only to give faux ammunition to the authors rediculous claims.

And of course when you use words like "Jewish Settler colony" you lose all credibilty with me. Such phrases are best left in a 1000 level polysci course.

Do I agree with allowing Jewish kids writing death messages on artillery peices? No. Do I agree with a Plaistenian Mickey Mouse spreading Jew hate? No. See how that works, I can simultaneously acknoweldge two wrongs are happening at once and I manage to do it without de-humanizing anyone!
