There’s certainly value in having young people learn to evaluate this conflict from the lens of both Israeli and Palestinian people, but that seems like a really poorly chosen angle.
Not quite “teach the good things the Nazis did in equal measure” which I know some classical liberals are huge fans of, but certainly closer to that than a fair and well thought-out question.
