I was going off of your comment, which spends a lot of time being shocked and horrified that your kids might hear something anti-Israel (which you seem to equate with being anti-Semitic) or that someone might push back on your support for Israel, and no time at all saying anything about the plight of the Palestinians.

However, I never said you supported Netanyahu or settlements. I referenced him as an example of Israel behaving badly. Far too much of the discussion, even on normally good sites like The Bulwark, has been reduced these days to either “Israel has the right to defend itself and if you criticize how it does so then you’re an anti-Semite” or “Palestinians are oppressed, so even the slaughter of Israeli children is OK because they’re settlers, not civilians.” Neither of those positions is acceptable, but people only seem upset about the latter, not the former.
