is there any greater example of such extreme failings in judgment as the public discourse regarding the conflict between Israel and Hamas? The differences between these two groups should be immediate and obvious to one who was simply willing to see them.Read more here.
One is a democratic country of Western societal norms and values that respects life, liberty, and the individual.
The other is a terrorist organization that doesn’t have any of these norms or value any of these things.
One is a terrorist organization that specifically targets civilians, uses human shields, and literally throws candy in the streets to their children over the murder of the children of their self-declared enemies.
The other, simply put, isn’t.
There is no moral, social, or cultural equivalence to be found here. Only someone whose worldview rests therein, who emotionally ‘needs’ to see such equivalence there, will find it. Because it does not stand before even a passing scan of the basic facts available. ‘Mirroring’ out of obvious if deep seated emotional desire for it to be so, plain and simple.
Don’t hesitate. Call faulty judgment and an incomplete grasp of the situation what it is.
The future of our society, and how we make our future decisions, is at stake every time. Do not allow the left to be comfortable in their moralistic condemnations and hypocritical relativistic thinking. It must not be normalized or accepted. Instead normalize in yourself, and then in others, a complete disdain and willingness to confront such ridiculously shoddy thinking wherever you find it.
