      what really gets to me about this statement (and the countless others very like it that have been issued countless times even in my own lifetime) is that there's no _argument_ being made. there's no effort to _show_ the comparison is wrong.https://twitter.com/bresreports/status/1402811248983646222 …

      Scott Madin added,

      John Bresnahan @bresreports
      News - A group of Jewish House Democrats are about issue a statement slamming @IlhanMN for her comments comparing the “unthinkable atrocities committed by the US, Hamas, Israel, Afghanistan and the Taliban.”

      it's just a bare assertion that, axiomatically, the US and Israel are Good, and Hamas and the Taliban are Bad, and it is always inherently illegitimate to compare the former's actions to the latter's. it's a declaration of _faith,_ not a real engagement with anything Omar said.

      Hamas is a government. the Taliban was a government, and probably will be again before long. if your argument is "you can't compare the actions of THESE governments to the actions of THOSE governments" you're going to need some actual reasons.

      "they're designated terrorist organizations!" yeah, they're designated _by us_. we designated them. we put them on a list and then said "oops! we checked the list and you're on it, you're terrorists now, sorry, That's The Rules".

          lots of governments (it would probably be safe to say all) do bad things from time to time. many governments do VERY bad things, rather frequently! here's a big secret: ours does, too.

          you can't start from the premise "we're Good and they're Bad", also conclude "we're Good and they're Bad", and then expect anyone to take your position seriously. it's not a serious position. it's the reasoning of a toddler.

          if you have an adult theory of mind and you understand that other people's thoughts are distinct from your own, and they don't automatically start from all the same assumptions you do, you know this kind of "argument" is meaningless.
