How can same people who believe Hamas violence justifies Israeli violence then disagree that Israeli violence justifies Hamas violence?
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) July 22, 2014
C’mon, now.
.@sallykohn perhaps because those people reject utterly false moral equivalencies.

.@sallykohn and perhaps because lumping all "violence" together without attempting to draw meaningful moral distinctions is moronic?
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) July 22, 2014
Bingo. When it comes to Hamas and Israel, there is no moral equivalency.
.@guypbenson and drawing distinctions between "good" violence vs "bad" violence is morally righteous!!??? Not according to my faith…
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) July 22, 2014
Don’t play that card, Sally. You’ll lose.
.@sallykohn Really? So the 'violence' of, say, fighting off a rapist is morally indiscernable from the rapist's actions?

All violence is not created equal.

Hamas is hell-bent on destroying Israel and the Jews; Israel is hell-bent on survival.

Bully punches your face. Do you just take it? How about punching you over and over for years? Take it? Are you a Bad Person when you punch?

Terrorism cannot — and should not — be equated with self-defense. Ever.
The difference @sallykohn, between Israel and Hamas is undeniable. You owe it to yourself to understand it. @guypbenson
