there are plenty of sleepwalker who believe the TV narrative about basically everything

I have a family member like that. They're not religious of any kind, worked with fine electronics in factory, etc. and is by no means stupid. Earlier this year they started ranting about children supporting terrorism and no one understood what was going on. Until they revealed that some kids had written "Stop killing children" with chalk on the sidewalk. All because of TV news with anchors and all that. Not even some far right or conservative channel, just traditional and usually pretty neutral news. But they leave out 90% of what is going on.

I've read this twice but are they saying that writing stop killing children is supporting terrorism?

Here's my best guess on the chain of logic:

Stop killing children -> Stop killing Palestinian children -> Stop Israel's war on Palestine -> Not supporting Israel -> Supporting Palestine -> Supporting Hamas -> Supporting Terrorism

It's about 15 too many conclusions to jump to but I've seen people do it. A lot.

That's a very common chain of thinking for people with poor Critical Thinking Skills.
