I find it hard to see exactly what nuanced argument she has for Israel that those images of carnage don't adequately/logically address (and with social media, nuance often falls by the wayside).
If she did, then maybe I would understand her view of them as emotional manipulation (or whatever it is she thinks they are) that needs to be kept away from children until they are old enough to see through it.
What these schools should be doing, if they really want to make sure children understand the issue, is to have both sides come to the classroom to speak. But she probably doesn't want that lol.
