I now present to you my Twitter exchange with progressive pundit Sally Kohn,* sans commentary:
How can same people who believe Hamas violence justifies Israeli violence then disagree that Israeli violence justifies Hamas violence?

.@sallykohn perhaps because those people reject utterly false moral equivalencies.
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) July 22, 2014
.@sallykohn and perhaps because lumping all “violence” together without attempting to draw meaningful moral distinctions is moronic?
— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) July 22, 2014
.@guypbenson and drawing distinctions between “good” violence vs “bad” violence is morally righteous!!??? Not according to my faith…
— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) July 22, 2014
.@sallykohn Really? So the ‘violence’ of, say, fighting off a rapist is morally indiscernable from the rapist’s actions?

Her rebuttal, as of this writing? Crickets. Maybe she’ll eventually enlighten us with additional insights into the moral pillars of her faith. And maybe those who read the above conversation will consider the state of Ms. Kohn’s moral compass when judging her counsel on other matters.
*Disclosure: I’ve met Sally on a number of occasions and have found her to be funny and delightful. She’s dead wrong about virtually everything, though, and this level of sophistic “analysis” belies a disappointing intellectual shallowness that I struggle to reconcile with her in-person charm. Oh well.
