hamstring the opponent before he could even start ("‘My opponent is a notorious liar. You can’t believe a word that he is going to say”)

Example: "Students should be allowed to look at their textbooks during examinations, after all surgeons have X-rays to guide them during an operation..."

when a premise of an argument contradicts each other (if God can do anything, can He make a stone so heavy that He won’t be able to lift it)

too few instances to support such a conclusion (You and Petey can’t speak French, therefore I conclude that nobody at the University speaks French)

not answering the question you were asked, instead making statement that is not relevant to the question.

Write at least two fallacies that can be found in the Israeli argument and explain each one.

You cannot start with a hypothesis that is not true and then draw any supportable conclusion out of it.

an argument based on an unqualified generalization (all the things you learn in school don’t have anything to do with life)

Mom is trying to force you to volunteer for some organization but you oppose it. Point out three fallacies in her claims that might change her mind

Not the cause of the action (Let’s not take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take him out with us, it rains)
