Ad Hominem and tu quoque fallacy argument. Dealing with Bloomberg.

1. I have heard the loser argument many nauseating times.


2. When you can't out argue your opponent's convincing reasoning you go on the ad hominem fallacy.

3. Instead of attacking the opponent's substantive arguments , you attack his motive, personal attributes and so on.

4. For example, you try to discredit the Bloomberg reports by saying they are meant to be a slur campaign on SPRM to tarnish it's good name .

5. Or the horrors of it all, you say don't believe Bloomberg, because it's Jewish owned.

6. This, is of course, the weapon of choice of the so called soldiers of God and the Muslim brownshirts.

7. Don't listen to these fanatical zealots ala Bangla Muslim anarchists.

8. Because it's Jewish owned and Jews support Zionism, we are asked to disbelieve Bloomberg.

9. This is a simplistic and uncritical generalization.

10. Because there so many Jewish organizations that are anti Zionism.

11. Examples are American council for Judaism, anarchists against the wall, Jews for justice for Palestinians, European Jews for a just peace and many more.

12. As humans, Jews are also capable of advancing truth, rationalism and universal humanism.

13. So, I wouldn't be too quick to include Bloomberg as a purveyor of untruths.

14 . You have all the space to debunk it's arguments, so please do it .

15. We are not stupid, we can judge who is more credible.

16. So don't be telling us, don't listen to Bloomberg because they are Jews and because they oppress and kill the Palestinians.

17. That's a tu quoque fallacy argument - why should we listen to you because you are a hypocrite, kill the Palestinians?

18. As a Muslim, I stand by 2 principles mentioned in the Quran.

19. The 1st says that do not let the hatred for a particular race, prevent you from carrying out justice.

20. Muslims generally hate the Israelis, but that is not an excuse for us not to do justice.

21. Dismissing outright what Bloomberg says, to me is injustice.

22. The 2nd principle says, that the truth about any matter can come from anywhere, including from non Muslims.

23. Hence for example, Tony Pua who is Chinese and a non Muslim, advances an irrefutable argument, I will be stupid to reject it .

24. Ditto for Bloomberg.
