      There’s 150 comments in this one post, having a couple about this one thing - which I also thought was off - is fine and good.

      It’s ok for people to point out bad things in something you agree with overall.

      I’m sorry, I just think that the zionist actions are bad by default but news articles shouldn’t minimize the people that defy them?

        That’s fair. And I completely agree with you, in general

        But, you knew there was a but coming, it was the person who saw the beating that actually said she is a kid. And, in this case at least it seems, that the media was just quoting them.

        Plus, in my view, the sentence of “Israeli terrorists beat a kid” is worse than “Israeli terrorists beat an adult”.
        So, to me, it looked like you were nitpicking and trying to minimise their actions by pointing out Greta isn’t a child. It seems I got that bit wrong and I apologise.
