Moral Equivalency
The claim that there is no ethical difference between differing viewpoints, since all morality is relative. For example, there is really no difference between collateral damage in war and intentional terrorist attacks on civilians, since people are harmed in both situations. Sometimes sides must be chosen, however, because in asymmetric warfare between oppressors and their victims, there is an actual moral distinction between evil and good. The actions of the aggressors are war crimes, while the violent resistance is justified based on their bitter lived experiences.
