Live Questions:
34:43 What is the role of emotional response to the horrors of Hamas attack?
36:38 Morally speaking, does Israel need to make an effort to avoid killing civilians if it has technology to do so? What is the moral justification for killing innocent little children as part of a military operation?
40:24 Can you explain the moral foundation of "crush your enemy" strategy?
48:36 Can you explain the concept of an individual loosing their individual rights if they violate them.
51:00 What is the right philosophical attitude towards a concept of revenge?
52:23 Can you explain why force is the ultimate evil? Why can't you negotiate with a bully?
54:58 How you respond when people, that are against Israel, say what about the displacement of Palestinians by Zionist militias during the period of the Nakba, that already happened before the 1948 war?
58:24 How to respond when people, that are against Israel, what about the acts committed by the Zionist movement, like the Haganah?
59:25 Not debating the Dave Smith
1:00:10 What should Israel's policy regarding settlements in the West Bank be?
1:03:13 The moral uncertainty I see in people reminds me of how valuable Objectism has been to my life. It is such an important tool to clarify thinking.
1:03:33 Thanks, Yaron, for your defense of Israel and condemnation of the evil they are facing
1:03:41 Give Gaza the ‘Dresden treatment’; that’s Israel moral obligation!
1:04:33 People are still killing over make-believe. Is that proof of Kant’s success? More broadly how do you view the philosophical causes of this event.
1:07:03 Do you think the IDF was weakened philosophically and morally?
1:11:43 Their view of international politics has always deterred me from the label of Libertarian. Somehow always managing to side with the bad guys. Furthermore, I'm of the opinion that Gaza must be destroyed.
1:12:33 I don't think I've been as depressed from a news cycle as seeing the relatively widespread apologists for mass murder in the Palestine crowd. Any optimism or words of encouragement are appreciated.
1:15:37 When 50,000 people march for an evil cause, people say ‘that’s a disgrace’. But isn’t it really a failure of education and a poor reflection on our own culture in the West? We should all be disgusted at the state of Ed.
1:16:51 Isn’t there an alternative to eliminate Hammas without having to kill innocent children? Isn’t Israel trying to resolve a decade-long problem in a single week? The reaction understandly seems more emotional than rational.
1:18:37 Would you consider reviving some of your older talks in video form, with some presentation materials associated? For example the history of middle east series or your morality of War talks. Thank you for all of your work!
1:21:11 Should Israel use its nukes if faced with a multi front seat including Hamas, Hezbollah, Lebanon, Syria and Iran? Is it moral of there's an existential threat from Iran?
1:22:48 Hi Yaron. Is news reporting on the ‘is’ without the ‘ought’ (what the BBC refers to as ‘impartiality’) a virtuous goal?
1:23:34 Do you think with all the evil - the war is also an opportunity to wake up and re discover the values of the West ? Do you think this happened with Ukraine and might happen with Israel?
1:24:47 For us Americans who have now given up the libertarian party after having previously rejecting both the democrats and republicans, where do we turn now?
1:26:57 Thanks for being one of the (sadly) few sane, moral voices especially now, but always.
1:27:06 After Israel's total victory in 1967, why didn't Israel follow the successful example of how the US dealt with Imperial Shinto Japan after its victory in WWII?
