Dude, take a breath. This is a social media site and I occasionally have better things to do than take extra time to ensure I word things in the exact right way, especially when I'm trying to relay info about the actions and statements of someone else.

If you have some way you'd prefer that sentence chunk to be worded, you're welcome to suggest it and I'll edit my comment and consider myself well and truly educated on correct way to refer to things. That'd be far more effective than taking the time to get enraged at whatever strawman of me you've built up.

And the comparison to slavery doesn't hold. I truly don't have the time and effort available to write some big thesis on how fucked that comparison is, but in short: slaves didn't have an active military force comparable to the slave owners. Before the north stepped up they weren't launching missile counter strikes.

"Why didn't the slaves just fight back with their own muskets? Were they stupid?"

Ultimately, Mrs. Rachel's statements were entirely about the unnecessary harm and death of children in a war/genocide they had no hand in. She wasn't talking fucking child soldiers, teenagers, hitler youth types. She's talking babies, toddlers, young children most likely under the age of 8. At those ages hate has to be taught, and none of those kids are out committing atrocities themselves.

There weren't six year olds out whipping slaves or SAing slave women. There aren't six year olds piloting drones or coordinating rocket and artillery strikes for Israel.

Don't get me wrong, free Palestine. Fuck pissrael. Fuck Zionists. If we absolutely must weigh child lives against each other than Palestinian children matter more no question. But I don't want to live in a world where people are remorselessly ok with dead toddlers just because of where they were born.

I'm of the personal opinion that's well and truly fucked up mentality. You're more than welcome to disagree, or to go spread some hatred at Mrs. Rachel for not restricting her empathy to only see the right toddlers, but I truly feel that reflects more on you than anybody else.
