Holocaust education has backfired in part as people see Palestinians as Jews'

I cannot get over this video. It is such a condensed capsule of what I think of as the Israeli Condition. Watch the video. Any play-by-play on my part will not do it justice. Ms. Hurwitz's delivery is as significant as her message.
She is not shy about the message she is conveying. The world, left to the mercy of zoomers, is disintegrating. "We" (the responsible adults) set out to teach "them" how to tell right from wrong. We established the proper chain of transmission so they would know "fact" from "fiction". In fact, one knows fact by two distinguishing characteristics - 1. Israel says it's so; 2. It is based on "arguments" and "data" and not on "talking heads".
In a way, I find her insistence on the truth value of structure just as offensive as her overt claim that the lesson of the holocaust is that the world hates Jews. Form really is substance as far as she's concerned. No hackneyed cliche goes unmentioned, beginning with "post-truth". She is the one who identifies Israeli impunity and Jewish supremacy with the truth inherent in a "proper" education.
Her true privilege, her and her fellow influencers-of-yore, was always getting to definitively tell right from wrong. She is right to mourn the passing of that privilege. When she enjoyed it, she bowed to nothing. She unreservedly rejected reality because she was so confident of that eternal privilege. Her privilege has expired.
Reality is messy and chaotic; it is largely shaped by naked interests and powerbrokers. this battle for reality chips and cracks the prize itself. There is room for light to try and survive within it. The dominion of the darkness so drily delivered in the video is diminishing.
