32. The Dunning-Kruger Effect: "I read Mondoweiss, so therefore I know everything I need to know about Israel."
33. Noble Effort fallacy: "For decades, the US and EU invested countless hours into trying to achieve a two state solution and building up a Palestinian government. It is the only path to peace."
34. Either/Or fallacy: "If you do not boycott Israel you are a genocide supporter." "Either Israel gives citizenship to millions of Palestinians or it is an apartheid state."
35. Equivocation: "I am against Israeli occupation," but without saying that they consider all of Israel to be occupied territory.
36. Esoteric Knowledge: "How can you claim Khamenei's anti-nuclear weapons fatwa is not a binding legal ruling? You aren't a Muslim!"
37. Etymological Fallacy: "How can I be an antisemite? I'm an Arab Semite myself!"
38. Middle of the Road fallacy: "My articles/decisions as president of the university get complaints from both Zionists and anti-Zionists so they must be fair and correct."
39. The Excluded Middle fallacy: "I read that Israel tortures terrorists in prison, therefore they should all be released."
40. The False Analogy: "Israel censors some news articles, just like Nazi Germany did!"
41. The Free Speech Fallacy: "I'm allowed to threaten the lives of artists who perform in Israel; it's free speech."
42. The Free Speech Fallacy counterpoint: "Zionists are not welcome to speak on campus/to enter our encampment because they make Palestinians/me feel uncomfortable."
43. The Fundamental Attribution Error: "We cannot believe anything the IDF spokesperson says because Zionists/Jews are liars."
44. Gaslighting: "Jews on campus aren't being attacked. They always exaggerate the slightest events." "All the protests are non-violent."
45. Guilt by Association: The entire David Miller body of "research," energetically defended by many academics.
