Her most despicable act of rhetorical subterfuge was her constant counter-position of “Nazis” against “Turks” throughout the article. This is, of course, a blatant category error: one is a political party with a self-selected membership and the other is an ethnicity whose members belonged at birth. The logical comparison, obviously, would be “Germans” against “Turks,” or alternatively, “Nazis” versus “Ittihadists.” She does this because she knows that virtually no-one is willing to transfer their feelings for the Nazis onto an entire folk, thus neatly setting up a false dilemma where you’re asked to believe that either every Turk who ever lived or will live is a Nazi, or on the other hand, the genocide never happened.

Simply masterful.
