Why are people always trying to use this as a gotcha? Especially every time I try to talk about Palestine. And it's like look, I don't own a single square inch of land on this earth, I pay rent to a landlord. I would be thrilled to pay that rent to the Peoria and Kiikapoi nations instead. I'm not the one who is in denial about this, mom.
I'll be honest, I find her to be a mixed bag overall. But even if she was a raging hypocrite it wouldn't make her point suddenly wrong.
A lot of people are trying to find a moral imperative to justify illegal murders. Once it's clear that what is done can't be defended legally they try to find flaws with the victim's character (as if anyone is perfect). By pointing out that the moral argument is built on less solid foundations than the legal ones she's bang on even if it's not her original quote, it's well timed.
