Maybe you should reassess your statements.

Maybe you should assess what you're standing in:

Moral equivalence
Moral equivalence is a term used in political debate, usually to negatively
characterize the humanist claim that 'there can no moral or ethical
hierarchy decided between two sides in a conflict, nor in the actions or
tactics of the two sides.' The term has some limited currency in polemic
debates about the Cold War, and more currently, the Israel-Palestine
conflict. "Moral equivalence" arose as a polemic term-of-retort to "moral
relativism," which had been gaining use as an indictment against political
foreign policy that appeared to use only a situation-based application of
widely-heldethical standards.
