Being Fair to Israel

Most progressives use different standards to judge Israel & its enemies. That is bias. 

Most progressives don't criticize arabs' raining missiles on civilian areas or blowing up buses ... when it's done to Israel. That is #bias.

Criticism of Israel is not bias unless it is unfair. The most obvious kind of unfair criticism that which is false. The other kind is criticism based on different standards for opposing sides. The grossest use of unequal standards is when absolutely no standard is used for the Arabs - there is no criticism at all. 

Progressives, who pride themselves on being fair, should be fair to Israel.
