The main motivation in this piece is to argue against analogizing Palestinians and African-Americans. But the arguments are surface level — did you know MLK Jr didn't fire rockets? — and don't engage with the deeper moral logic of the comparison — PolitiTweet.org

There's a thin line between "no two situations are the same" and "all comparative analysis is bad" — and I think this piece, and this passage in particular, crosses it https://t.co/wqTgtMuGy4 https://t.co/XGfs3aL6a6 — PolitiTweet.org

That passage I highlighted is a real own goal here. Obviously Narendra Modi and Donald Trump are different in lots of ways — but to ignore the important points of comparison is to willfully blind oneself to the rise of populist right-wing authoritarianism as a global trend — PolitiTweet.org
