Like “all lives matter”, as an abstract statement “Every killed child is a tragedy, on any side" is vacuously true, but to retreat to it as a position vis-à-vis Gaza is not evidence of high-minded humanism, it's an act of discursive violence.
It's code for “I don't want to face the fact that Israel has murdered one thousand times more children than Hamas has”. You claim to treat all victims the same? Are you spending one thousand times more time and thought and words on the children of Palestine, then? Are you?
