You’re quite right, and so are the kids. I can give an example I just came across. Someone criticized Israelis for cultural appropriation because they are now trying to steal the keffiyeh as a cultural symbol. Two Israelis were shown wearing blue and white keffiyehs. In response to the scornful and shocked comments on this, a hasbarist chimed in with a long essay on how the keffiyeh was actually Jewish, and the Palestinians had stolen it. Skimming his post, I found the hasbarist was actually saying absolutely nothing. Of course Palestinian Jews wore the keffiyeh centuries ago! So did their Muslim and Christian descendants! European Jews never did. Nor did Israelis, AFAIK, until quite recently. So—reams of text of obfustication based on a couple of falsehoods. That’s what they do.
