Anyone Who Sees Moral Equivalence Between Good and Evil Is a Liar

[Ben Shapiro]

A society that loses its moral compass and believes there is nuance and
complexity to people beheading babies is not a society that is destined to
live. That kind of society cannot withstand any sort of pressure at all; it
collapses inward at the first sign of conflict.

CNN and MSNBC interviews showed people asserting there was moral equivalence
between Israelis and the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered families in their
homes and decapitated babies.

Oh, the sophistication, the nuance. Don't you see the shades of gray?

The media are disgusting. They're truly disgusting. Some of them seek truth.
Some of them occasionally stumble upon it even if they're not seeking it. But
then you have the motivated actors who are more interested in their own
pseudo-sophistication and moral equivalence than anything else.

Terrorism is, by definition, an act of atrocity that involves civilians. If
you hide behind a civilian, you are the person responsible for the death of
that civilian. And that's what Hamas does. Hamas literally located its
military headquarters at the bottom of a hospital.

This is what they are. They locate their headquarters in mosques. They hide
weapons caches in churches and mosques so that if Israel has to blow those
things up, then they can claim it's some sort of human rights violation.

This is what they do. They understand how the Western press plays this
garbage. They understand the Western press pretends there is some sort of
moral equivalence between a Hamas terrorist riding into a kibbutz and
beheading a child and Israel attempting to minimize civilian casualties on
the Gaza Strip and failing because Hamas is hiding behind children.

Hamas is to blame for both sides of those civilian casualties. Hamas is
actively encouraging people not to move from these areas. I know this for a
fact: Israel has called off uncounted strikes over the last 30 years because
there are civilians in the area.

When Israel was bombing Gaza, video showed secondary explosions. Secondary
explosions only emerge if there's a weapons cache underneath the buildings
Israel hit. The secondary explosions are a result of weapons being hidden
beneath the ground, which is what the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and
Islamic Jihad do.

Israel has tried to hand control of the Gaza Strip over to Egypt. They
weren’t interested. Israel has tried to hand over control of Palestinian Arab
areas in Judea and Samaria to Jordan. Jordan said, “Hell no.”

America would never stand for anything like the massacre Hamas committed.
Imagine that the people who are crossing the southern border right now were
all armed to the teeth and were going to random villages killing 30,000
Americans. Do you think the border with Mexico would currently be controlled
by no one, or do you think the American military would be there? Do you think
the Mexican government would even be functional?

Israel's going to have to do what it has to do and watch as the media —
already moral cowards — turn their fire on the people who watched their
babies be beheaded by terrorist groups.

To anyone who claims they can't see moral clarity at this point in time, I
don't believe you. If you can't draw the distinction between people beheading
babies and people attempting to protect babies, you have ulterior motives at
play, whether it's your own pseudo-sophistication or whether you have baser
and darker ulterior motives.

I know one thing: The West is going to win. And right now, Israel is the
emissary of the West against these pieces of human debris.

Bullshit. *Only* those protesting the Nazis and KKK at Charlottesville were
very fine people. The Nazis and KKK are subhuman filth. Trump is a liar.
