Elder of Ziyon63. The Narrative Fallacy. This one could fill up several posts on its own. "Historic borders of Palestine," "The ancient Palestinian people," "Palestinians welcomed the persecuted Jews," up to "Israeli soldiers sexually abuse Palestinian women in prison." All of them with extended "witness" testimony.
64. No Discussion. Zionists: "Let's discuss your issues with Israel." "Response: "Globalize the Intifada!"
65. Non-recognition: "We do not speak to the Zionist entity."
66. The Non Sequitur: Responding to "Palestinian government is corrupt" with "Occupation!"
67. Nothing New Under the Sun "The Jews cannot be trusted to hold to agreements, as we see in the Quran."
68. Olfactory Rhetoric: “I can sniff you, we can all sniff you...We can smell the Zionist on you.”
69. Othering/Dehumanization:
70. Overgeneralization. "Antisemitism is no different from all other forms of bigotry and does not deserve to be treated uniquely."
71. The Passive Voice Fallacy: "A Jewish settler was killed in the West Bank yesterday."
72. The Plain Truth Fallacy. "I don't want to hear an entire history lesson about the conflict. What's happening in Gaza today is all that matters."
73. Playing on Emotion: "Israel is killing babies! Babies!"
74. Language Control: "Israel Occupation Forces," "Zionist Entity," "Al Quds," "Tal ar-Rabeea" (for Tel Aviv.)
75. The Pollyanna Principle/Projection Bias: "Palestinians don't support terror; they just want freedom. They're just like us!" "Like Americans, the overwhelming number of Palestinians support a state side by side with Israel!"
76. Prosopology/Reciting the Litany: "Remember their names!" (with a list of names of people killed/imprisoned)
77. The Red Herring: "History didn't begin October 7."
