The problem is the somewhat uniquely strong correlation between "Jews" and "Israel". You can usually bet money that somebody saying "X race/religion is hungry for violence" isn't saying much that's useful, and is mostly expressing hatred. But replace "X" with a country or government, and there's a higher chance they're making a legitimate point (disregarding how provocative the words they've chosen are, and how appropriate that choice is). In either case, one should of course try to get more context, but the unity of race + religion + nation + historical persecution into a single word, "Jew", makes it extremely difficult to filter the noise out on this topic. It doesn't help that the choice of headline wording I've seen on every single instance of this report is, while not absolutely a lie, certainly misleading and clickbaity, and should be changed. |
