Did you even read it or finish it? It explicitly makes the case it is NOT a parable for Jews, as it is often interpreted, but rather the human condition in general. From the article:
"“Bambi” is not a parable about the plight of the Jews, but Salten sometimes regards the plight of the Jews as a parable about the human condition. The omnipresence and inevitability of danger, the need to act for oneself and seize control of one’s fate, the threat posed by intimates and strangers alike: this is Salten’s assessment of our existence."
That was the case the author was building up to the entire time. To each their own, but I thought it was an incredibly well written article.
