'We find this rhetorical tactic antithetical to Jewish values, which teach us to repair the world, question authority, and champion the oppressed over the oppressor.'
Only in the sense that one side thinks “My shit is my shit, Your shit is your shit” and the other side thinks “My shit is my shit, Your shit is my shit”.
