Wow, this is like reading something from shaggy. Nice of you to take talking points from Ben Shapiro's propaganda site. Want to talk about false equivalence?
Only right wingers are saying "I support the intifada" is the equivalent of "murdering Jews". I'm not going to comment on the legalities of what's going on in the West Bank or who's right but supporting a "revolution/cause" is not the same thing as murdering people. I don't go around saying that paying the contras was "murdering Nicaraguans" or supporting Pinochet was "murdering Chileans" or supporting the insurgencies in Angola and Cambodia were "murdering Angolans and Cambodians". But if you're going to make that argument at least be consistent when you look at some of our global policies.
The beauty of false equivalence is somehow equating legitimate grievances in global politics with the lynching of black men in the South. Get back to me on how that works. I don't support suicide bombers at all but tell me how being desperate enough to do that (the people not in power fighting those in power) is the same as a bunch of armed, hooded white men stalking and hanging black men in the South (the people in power killing those not in power). Talk about hypocrisy and selective indignation. Meet the mirror.
Better yet, why don't we leave politics out of Burnt Ends....
