This is a pertinent clip from Sam Harris on the moral difference between Israel and her enemies. The moral difference comes down to understanding the answer to this question: what would each side do if they had the power to do it? TRANSCRIPT: The truth is that there is... an obvious, undeniable, and hugely consequential moral difference between Israel and her enemies. The Israelis are surrounded by people who have explicitly genocidal intentions towards them. The charter of Hamas is explicitly genocidal. It looks forward to a time, based on Koranic prophesy, when the earth itself will cry out for Jewish blood, where the trees and the stones will say “O Muslim, there’s a Jew hiding behind me. Come and kill him.” This is a political document. We are talking about a government that was voted into power by a majority of Palestinians. The discourse in the Muslim world about Jews is utterly shocking. Not only is there widespread Holocaust denial—there’s Holocaust denial that then asserts that we will do it for real if given the chance. The only thing more obnoxious than denying the Holocaust is to say that it should have happened; it didn’t happen, but if we get the chance, we will accomplish it. There are children’s shows in the Palestinian territories and elsewhere that teach five-year-olds about the glories of martyrdom and about the necessity of killing Jews. And this gets to the heart of the moral difference between Israel and her enemies. And this is something I discussed in The End of Faith. To see this moral difference, you have to ask what each side would do if they had the power to do it. What would the Jews do to the Palestinians if they could do anything they wanted? Well, we know the answer to that question, because they can do more or less anything they want. The Israeli army could kill everyone in Gaza tomorrow. So what does that mean? Well, it means that, when they drop a bomb on a beach and kill four Palestinian children, as happened last week, this is almost certainly an accident. They’re not targeting children. They could target as many children as they want. Every time a Palestinian child dies, Israel edges ever closer to becoming an international pariah. So the Israelis take great pains not to kill children and other noncombatants. What do we know of the Palestinians? What would the Palestinians do to the Jews in Israel if the power imbalance were reversed? Well, they have told us what they would do. For some reason, Israel’s critics just don’t want to believe the worst about a group like Hamas, even when it declares the worst of itself. We’ve already had a Holocaust and several other genocides in the 20th century. People are capable of committing genocide. When they tell us they intend to commit genocide, we should listen. There is every reason to believe that the Palestinians would kill all the Jews in Israel if they could. Would every Palestinian support genocide? Of course not. But vast numbers of them—and of Muslims throughout the world—would. Needless to say, the Palestinians in general, not just Hamas, have a history of targeting innocent noncombatants in the most shocking ways possible. They’ve blown themselves up on buses and in restaurants. They’ve massacred teenagers. They’ve murdered Olympic athletes. They now shoot rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas. And again, the charter of their government in Gaza explicitly tells us that they want to annihilate the Jews—not just in Israel but everywhere.show more

This is from episode 2 of his Making Sense podcast titled "Why Don't I Criticize Israel?" published in 2014.

Yes I remember this. Poignant and reasoned elegantly. Sam Harris at his best.

Scott Adams3 years ago

Dumb analysis. Israel doesn't have the power to do whatever it wants.

Brian Atwood3 years ago

Despite his recent cringe he’s right on this one

Scott G3 years ago

When Sam is right, he’s right. And says it with a conviction and clarity that is hard to refute.

Justine Deterling Kreher3 years ago

& the comparison the left likes to make between Israel & apartheid South Africa is offensive. There was always a jewish presence in the area that had scores of colonizers. & the Europeans who came there saw the holocaust coming or came fleeing it or after it. Also, 2 state solution was rejected.

How did Sam Harris go for 3 minutes without mentioning Trump

SCOBY Bryant ☝️🤨☝️3 years ago

cannot say both: "What would the Jews do?...they can do more or less anything they want." & "Every time a Palestinian child dies, Israel edges ever closer to becoming an international pariah." Israel relies on the West. If unconstrained, we don't know what they would do.

I think Sam Harris makes a valid criticism of Hamas and the effect of religious indoctrination on Palestinians but the culpability to the extreme negative polarization seems to me not so one-sided as he suggests. Palestinians may be the more extreme side - more prone to irrational, impulsive, counterproductive acts of violence - but the feelings of in-group vs. out-group tribalism, revenge seeking and grudge holding that drive the negative polarization exist in varying degrees in all people(s) as has become clear in contemporary American society.

Sam Harris articulating why "using human shields" versus "being deterred by them" tells you "everything you need to know about the moral imbalance between Israel and her enemies." TRANSCRIPT: The truth is that everything you need to know about the moral imbalance between Israel and her enemies can be understood on the topic of human shields. Who uses human shields? Well, Hamas certainly does. They shoot their rockets from residential neighborhoods, from beside schools, and hospitals, and mosques. Muslims in other recent conflicts, in Iraq and elsewhere, have also used human shields. They have laid their rifles on the shoulders of their own children and shot from behind their bodies. Consider the moral difference between using human shields and being deterred by them. That is the difference we’re talking about. The Israelis and other Western powers are deterred, however imperfectly, by the Muslim use of human shields in these conflicts, as we should be. It is morally abhorrent to kill noncombatants if you can avoid it. It’s certainly abhorrent to shoot through the bodies of children to get at your adversary. But take a moment to reflect on how contemptible this behavior is. And understand how cynical it is. The Muslims are acting on the assumption—the knowledge, in fact—that the infidels with whom they fight, the very people whom their religion does nothing but vilify, will be deterred by their use of Muslim human shields. They consider the Jews the spawn of apes and pigs—and yet they rely on the fact that they don’t want to kill Muslim noncombatants. Now imagine reversing the roles here. Imagine how fatuous—indeed how comical it would be—for the Israelis to attempt to use human shields to deter the Palestinians. Of course, that would be ridiculous. The Palestinians are trying to kill everyone. Killing women and children is part of the plan. Reversing the roles here produces a grotesque Monty Python skit. If you’re going to talk about the conflict in the Middle East, you have to acknowledge this difference. I don’t think there’s any ethical disparity to be found anywhere that is more shocking or consequential than this.

“I’m Just Astonished That You Can’t Make the Difference Between the Jews and the Israelis” — Ahmed Alnaouq to Piers Morgan. For nearly 20 months, Piers Morgan has repeatedly claimed that Hamas’s stated goal is to “kill all the Jews” — a false framing that dehumanizes Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation by stripping it of political context and painting it as rooted in antisemitism. This narrative has been key to justifying Israel’s brutal genocidal assault on Gaza, where a war of annihilation has been waged through systematic destruction and the indiscriminate mass killing of civilians — civilians who are routinely dismissed as “Hamas supporters” to excuse their deaths. In an exchange yesterday, Palestinian journalist Ahmed Alnaouq called out Piers’ longstanding claim, pointing out that Palestinian resistance opposes Israeli occupation — not Jews. Alnaouq stressed that the fight is against colonization, not religion. He also told Piers Morgan: ➤ “Bad journalism kills. Israel could not carry out a genocide in Gaza without the justification of the mainstream media.” —— Here’s part of the exchange: ⬇️ Piers Morgan: “I’m telling you they are an undisguised death cult, intent on killing as many Jews as they can… You talk about genocide — that is genocide — when you want to kill as many Jews as you can kill.” Ahmed Alnaouq: “That’s the problem. You always say they want to kill the Jews. Our problem is not with the Jews — even Hamas’s problem is not with the Jews. It is with the Israelis. We never had a problem with the Jews. We love the Jews as much as we love the Christians.” Piers Morgan: “Why do they kill so many Jews, then?” Ahmed Alnaouq: “They did not kill Jews. They killed Israelis. And I don’t justify killing Israelis. But our problem is with the occupiers.” Piers Morgan: “How many of the people who were killed were not Jewish?” Ahmed Alnaouq: “It doesn’t matter. They were attacked because they were Israelis, not because they were Jews. This is not a religious war. This is a war between colonization and colonized, occupiers and occupied.” Piers Morgan: “I’m astonished that you would draw a distinction. Most of them are Jewish.” Ahmed Alnaouq: “Please, there’s a huge difference. I'm surprised that you're saying this, please genuinely, I'm surprised. There a huge difference.” Piers Morgan: “You’re surprised that I think Hamas targets Jewish people?” Ahmed Alnaouq: “Of course. That’s a ridiculous thing to say.” Piers Morgan: “They’ve made no secret of it. They obviously target and murder as many Jewish people as they can.” Ahmed Alnaouq: “I am the last person on earth to defend Hamas. But just because I don’t like Hamas does not mean I’m going to exaggerate and lie about them. The Palestinians’ problem is against Zionism and Israeli occupation — not against Jews. Because they occupied our country, because they're colonizers, because they came to our country kicked us out in 1948 and they killed thousands of Palestinians including my grandparents.”

“Jews are our enemies not because they occupied Palestine. They would have been enemies even if they did not occupy a thing.” Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya’qoub on Al-Rahma TV: “If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not. We will never love them. Absolutely not. The Jews are infidels – not because I say so, and not because they are killing Muslims, but because Allah said: “The Jews say that Uzair is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that Christ is the son of Allah. These are the words from their mouths. They imitate the sayings of the disbelievers before. May Allah fight them. How deluded they are.” It is Allah who said that they are infidels. Your belief regarding the Jews should be, first, that they are infidels, and second, that they are enemies. They are enemies not because they occupied Palestine. They would have been enemies even if they did not occupy a thing. Allah said: “You shall find the strongest men in enmity to the disbelievers [sic] to be the Jews and the polytheists.” Third, you must believe that the Jews will never stop fighting and killing us. They [fight] not for the sake of land and security, as they claim, but for the sake of their religion: “And they will not cease fighting you until they turn you back you’re your religion, if they can.” This is it. We must believe that our fighting with the Jews is eternal, and it will not end until the final battle – and this is the fourth point. You must believe that we will fight, defeat, and annihilate them, until not a single Jew remains on the face of the Earth. It is not me who says so. The Prophet said: “Judgment Day will not come until you fight the Jews and kill them. The Jews will hide behind stones and trees, and the stones and tree will call: Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him – except for the Gharqad tree, which is the tree of the Jews.” I have heard that they are planting many of these trees now. As for you Jews – the curse of Allah upon you. The curse of Allah upon you, whose ancestors were apes and pigs. You Jews have sown hatred in our hearts, and we have bequeathed it to our children and grandchildren. You will not survive as long as a single one of us remains. Oh Jews, may the curse of Allah be upon you. Oh Jews... Oh Allah, bring Your wrath, punishment, and torment down upon them. Allah, we pray that you transform them again, and make the Muslims rejoice again in seeing them as apes and pigs. You pigs of the earth! You pigs of the earth! You kill the Muslims with that cold pig [blood] of yours.”

Ceasefire now, people say. But what does that actually mean? So ceasefire is what we've had on October 6th and what we all want, obviously. But President Biden said it best. Ceasefire and a hostage deal, he said, is at the hands of Hamas. President Biden said that Israel put down a rational offer because Israel is a rational country. The problem is that Hamas is not a rational actor. It is a genocidal Jihadi terrorist organization that doesn't care about the lives of Palestinians. And people in the West have been yelling ceasefire now at the wrong side of this war. Hamas has rejected countless ceasefires. Hamas and Iran are not trying to build a better life for the Palestinian people. You have to understand what Hamas and Iran are doing right now is they're actively trying to inflame the entire Middle East right before the holy month of Ramadan, which as President Biden said is going to be very, very dangerous. And this is exactly what they are after. There is currently a multi-front war going on in Israel in which Israel is being attacked by Jihadi terrorists from all sides, all prompted, pushed, and sponsored by Iran. Hamas, according to what was published, said that they have Israel exactly where they want her. That means the international pressure is on Israel to stop the war so that Hamas can remain in power in Gaza. So if you're calling at Israel to ceasefire, you're doing the bidding of Hamas. Hamas does not want to ceasefire. They're going to do whatever it takes in order to maintain power, including hiding in the elaborated tunnel system that they build instead of building a Palestinian state and remain in power at the cost of Israeli children and Palestinian children. It's time to dehamasify Gaza. And next time you demand a ceasefire, just make sure you aim it at the right direction. As President Biden said, this is at the hands of Hamas.

Was Hillary Clinton right all along when it comes to the Israel / Palestinian situation? In this old clip, Hillary says: "Remember, Israel left Gaza. They took out all the Israelis. They turned the keys over to the Palestinian people and what happened? "Hamas took over Gaza, so instead of having a thriving economy with the kind of opportunities that the children of the Palestinians deserve, we have a terrorist haven that is getting more and more rockets shipped in from Iran and elsewhere” I'd love to hear the Hamas defenders respond to this.

‘Israel’s war on the Palestinians and Arabs is NO LONGER A JUST WAR, it will bring about the end of Zionism.’ —Former Chief of Israel’s Shin Bet Admiral Ami Ayalon ‘Our war with the Arabs and the Palestinians started since the beginning of the Zionism, at the end of the 19th century. What I claim is that we won this war. We won this war because in Beirut in 2002, all the Arab League members, they met and they reverse the three no’s of Khartoum, as a result of the Israeli victory in the Six Day War, they met in Khartoum and they come to decide on three no’s: No to recognition, no to negotiation, and no to peace with Israel. It took several years and in 2002 they met again in Beirut and they understand that what they're facing is a new region, new Middle East, a new reality. And they reverse and they decide on the three yes: yes to recognition, yes to conversation and negotiation, and yes to peace with Israel, on the conditions, on the parameters of the UN Security Council resolutions. This is a major victory and we refuse to see our victory...since they accepted our presence, our right to declare a Jewish state in the Middle East, what I claim is that since this moment our war is not a just war anymore. Because what we are fighting for, and we do not understand in Israel, is in order to expand our eastern border, to deny the creation of a Palestinian state and the Palestinian right to self-determination…this is the end of the Zionist dream. Because if we are not majority in our state, we do not have the power and we do not have the right to dictate the culture, the language, the symbols, the way we celebrate our holidays.

Let’s just get this straight. Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. Antisemitism is not just racism or hatred. It’s a shape-shifting conspiracy theory. And every few generations it changes into something different. Now people are literally saying, oh, we’ll just get rid of Israel and everything will be fine. It shifts into something different, in which takes everything bad that was said about the Jews, everything that you attributed to the Jews as the worst thing in history, instead of on the Jews, onto Israel. And they attribute the same bloodthirstiness, the same untrustworthiness, the same desire to control and power. Literally take the word Jew and swap it with IDF. They’re standing on the footsteps of colleges in America and they are rehashing. They think they have this new, they found this new cause and unbeknown to them, first of all, they’re rehashing antisemitic tropes from like the 1500s, right? And that obsession that they aren’t even aware of is what allowed for October 7th and October 8th to happen. And that is something that we need to be very careful about, because they’re after taking Israel down. And that would be if they will succeed, and they won’t. But they’re after that. And that is the possible new Holocaust. That would be the calamity of the Jewish people of our generation. And it’s masked as this like, I’m not antisemitic, I’m just an anti-Zionist. No. Antisemitism in a new face. We have to be very careful of it.

And they attribute the same bloodthirstiness, the same untrustworthiness, the same desire to control and power. Literally take the word Jew and swap it with IDF. They’re standing on the footsteps of colleges in America and they are rehashing. They think they have this new, they found this new cause and unbeknown to them, first of all, they’re rehashing antisemitic tropes from like the 1500s, right? And that obsession that they aren’t even aware of is what allowed for October 7th and October 8th to happen. And that is something that we need to be very careful about, because they’re after taking Israel down. And that would be if they will succeed, and they won’t. But they’re after that. And that is the possible new Holocaust. That would be the calamity of the Jewish people of our generation. And it’s masked as this like, I’m not antisemitic, I’m just an anti-Zionist. No. Antisemitism in a new face. We have to be very careful of it.

Jonny Ardavanis on Isaiah 53 and what it has to do with God’s preservation of the Jewish people: “But I want you to notice as we turn to Isaiah 53 that all of these verbs are in the past tense. It does not say He will be pierced through for our transgressions. He will be crushed. It says what? ‘He was.’ Every verb starting in verse 1 all the way through verse 11 in the past tense, meaning that this is prophetic, and yet, it is written in such a way as if it had already happened. Why? Well, because this is the mournful confession of the Jews in the future. I’ve been getting asked a lot about Israel and the Jews lately, and I’ll discuss this more in the future, maybe do a little series, but there is a reason why you’ve never met a Jebusite, an Edomite, an Amorite, a Hittite, a Perizzite, or a Philistine. They are not and were not preserved by God, but one day, Zechariah 12:10 says that they will look on Me whom they have pierced, and they will mourn as for an only son. There isn’t a singular personal pronoun in the chapter. It’s all a collective statement. It’s in the future. The Jews are going to recognize their hard heart, their rebellion, and their rejection of their Messiah. But this text not only applies to the Jews. It applies to all of us as well.”

Israel’s doing the very opposite of genocide. Israel does everything in its power to move civilians out of harm’s way in order to preserve and protect them. I'll give you an example. Israel, at the beginning of the war, would warn civilians to get out of harm’s way. They would say, “here are the areas that we’re going to attack tomorrow, the next day, and the day after that you need to leave so that we can fight Hamas who’s hiding in those places.” Already that’s the very opposite of genocide. Genocide requires an army to be pushing civilians into the killing zone. Here’s an army warning civilians to get out of the killing zone. But here’s the thing, over time Israel learned that Hamas was not going to tolerate that. Hamas, we know from their private correspondence, they want more civilians to die, not less. They want to convince the world that Israel is bad, so that Israel can be easily destroyed. So they start killing civilians who are fleeing the war zone. They start at gunpoint, forcing civilians to go back into the places that Israel is going to attack in order to increase the amount of civilian casualties. Israel learns about this and what does Israel do? Israel starts building these humanitarian corridors—these are unheard of in warfare. They started at 4 hours a day, 8 hours a day. Ultimately there were 16, sometimes 20 hours a day, where Israel would man these highways that they would create. They would put their own soldiers, Israeli sons and daughters on the front lines of these highways to sit there and guard Palestinian civilians from other Palestinians as they fled the war zone to make sure that Hamas couldn't kill them as they fled. Again, that’s doubly the opposite of genocide and the numbers bear this out. In fact, every month since the war went on, you see the ratio of militants-to-civilians killed get lower and lower and lower so that ultimately, at the end of the war, when they go into Rafah—where Israel moved 1.2 million civilians out of harm’s way in order to destroy the final stronghold of Hamas in southern Gaza—you see the lowest civilian casualties of the war, at the end of the war. Again, it’s the very opposite of a genocide.

"If there is a link between what’s happening now and what happened in the 1930s, it is in the anti-Jewish propaganda that led to the Holocaust and the vicious anti-Muslim propaganda that is everywhere on the internet. The Jews in the 1930s were the target of massive and widespread socially permitted racism and the Muslims today occupy the same space. And what is really sad for me, as a Jew from a family of Jewish refugees from Vienna, is that Jews are now taking part… It beholds the Jewish community to disassociate itself from the far-right and also from Israel and say 'no, this is not in our name', as an increasing number of young and very brave Jews are doing. Israel’s alliance with fascists and Israel’s behaviour generally is the greatest threat to communal relations… than anything else. The greatest threat to Jews around the world is fascists who have a common cause with Israel coming back to power in Europe again. Because once they’ve finished eradicating or trimming down the Muslims they will turn on Jews next, just as they did in the 1930s.” David Hearst

Obama on recursive self improvement and the risks associated with it. When he talks about the urgency for us all to have a say in how this technology evolves and how it is overseen, this is part of the reason why: “The models are going to get smarter and smarter and better and better at a much faster pace, at an exponential pace. What are the risks of that? There’s the big science fiction risk, wow, these models get smarter than us, and they decide humans are fine, but not necessary. They start setting their own goals, and the killer robots kill us, or we bow down to them. I do not want to exaggerate that particular risk, but I will say there is a non-zero risk of non-zero chance of that happening, but that’s not actually the risk that I’m most concerned about, although it’s the risk that gets most attention. And the reason that’s a risk is not because the computer models are conscious, necessarily. It doesn’t mean that they are necessarily feel malice towards humans. It’s just that if they start setting their own agendas, you may get a misalignment between what they want to do and what we want them to do, and that gap can be dangerous. That’s problem number one. The more serious problem is these models are getting powerful enough that if they get in the hands of bad humans, they can do bad things. They can be weaponized in certain ways. They can do a lot of mischief.”

The Anchormen on Israel using a nuclear weapon against Iran: GAETZ: “If Israel believes that this bombing campaign of the United States, that is relentless and effective at destroying infrastructure and military material, but not effective at regime change. If they don’t think that’s enough to send Iran into chaos, they may use the nuclear weapon we all know they have. I shudder to think that. I would like to believe that no country would do that again, and so I’m not of that ilk yet, but the argument was made.” SHARP: “What would the consequences be? Is the U.S. gonna bomb Israel? How is that gonna shake out? Who’s gonna hold them account for that? Not that I think Israel wouldn’t do it. They have their pathological hatred of Iran and they wanna take that region out, and they have the Greater Israel objective. From a philosophical standpoint, they wouldn’t have a problem with it, but God, what would the consequences be?” WATCH NOW:

“Is there a UN charter for Israel that is different than the charter we all have? Do they have a right to kill, and the only right we have is to die? What the hell more does Israel need to do more for this council to act under Chapter VII … or will this Council be the last place on earth that cannot recognize a threat to peace when they see it. When it is so glaring, so undeniable? You are witnessing an attempt to annihilate a nation.” —Palestinian Deputy Ambassador to the UN (Ambassador Majed Bamya 🇵🇸) calls out global complicity after the United States blocked yet another ceasefire resolution that would have put an end to the genocide in Gaza.

There are hundreds of thousands of Jews who do not accept the state of Israel and Zionism, but they never talk about it because the mainstream media is under the control of Zionists. What is Judaism? Its not an ethnicity or culture as Zionists would have you believe. Its a religion, plain & simple. "The Jewish people have no state! They could call themselves Herzlston, or whatever they want, but they are not "Israel" and they are not the "State of the Jews"! Judaism is a religion NOT a Nationality!
