On the other hand, I think the issue that some people had was the lengthy advocating for certain children, but not others suffering in the same conflict.
It’s likely justified, since the scale of the overwhelming majority of children suffering in Gaza are Palestinian, and comparatively few children were/are Israeli.
There were also many Israeli children who were murdered, maimed, or kidnapped by Hamas and she went 2 years without mentioning it. This is also in a climate in which people are invalidating the suffering of those children. I don’t think it’s wrong for someone to make a principled political stand, but it is intellectually dishonest to say “I just care for ALL children” and then ignore a large group of them.
Again, I am not saying that I think she is in the wrong, which I have already made explicit. The people whose suffering children she ignored are also not wrong to be confused about her position.
She has commented primarily about Palestinian children because there are more of them suffering. Enough said.
