If I'm reading what you're saying right, then you think the commenter was trying to mock Israel for their actions in Palestine by joking that Israel holds points about Judaism that justify child murder as sacred (thus telling them to stop would be "anti-Semitic" because their view of Judaism privileges child murdering.)
If I'm reading you right, then
that reading is incredibly generous to the point of inaccuracy. Because the context for this is the commenter looking at a post by the AJA, finding a piece of the Torah that reads like it supports child murder, then concludin that because this is part of Sacred Jewish Texts that it is anti-Semitic to tell "them" to stop killing children. This isn't helped by the commenter repeatedly asserting that it is somehow encumbant on all Jews to unilaterally denounce any pro-Israel messaging by any organization with "Jewish" in its name. (I can only guess they think Jews have a radar in their heads that goes "blip" whenever a post like this is made. Otherwise, I don't know how that could possibly be a reasonable expectation.)
this assumption relies on a reading of Israel as a representative of Judaism, or that either Judaism or Jewish people are accountable to Israel or it's appropriation of religion. I'm not sure whether this assumption walks the line of or directly crosses into dual loyalty territory, but it certainly sees that line.
What's interesting about your analogy is that there is a state that proports to represent Catholicism (Vatican City) that you could have used here, but didn't do so by using "some Catholics" instead. After all, it would be crazy to hold all Catholics responsible and hold them to account to rebut the Vaticans claims for these hypothetical killings if "soldiers from Vatican City" did the killings, no matter what rationale the Vatican would have hypothetically given for them.
I wonder if there is a state and group of people that this analysis should also apply to.
Omfg you understand this is a shitpost right?
You understand jokes and satire right? Well obviously not. It hasn't got to be bang on accurate to what is UN decreed official language.
The premise of the joke is this:
1 Someone makes a comment about how Israel shoukd stop committing crimes against humanity.
2 It gets called anti Semetic
3 Someone satrically defends Israel/that person also defending Israel.
The joke is about how stupid the second point is by futher adding to the stupidity for comedic effect in 3.
How you read that as to be anti semetic to the whole of Jews honestly is starting to read like you are futher adding to the joke by expanding on the stupid anti semetic comment in point 2.
I'm not sure Israel and the Vatican are analogous examples which is why I didnt use it. But sure change it to saying not allowing the Pope or cardinals to fuck kids is anti-Catholic for all I care. I was trying to help explain the joke but now I'm thinking are you trolling.
