Live Questions:
42:53 I was just reading an article about why Gaza is an "open air prison." It was so full of distortions and context-dropping that it was unreal.
48:42 Instead of specific warnings, why doesn't the IDF say "If you aren't in Hamas, get away from any Hamas personnel, equipment or facilities. Anyone near Hamas is at risk until Hamas is defeated or unconditionally surrenders."
50:54 No doubt in my mind that any compound they find are dangerously rigged blow up.They are eager to be Martyrs,even in the basements of civilian homes and hospitals.People dont get Israel needs its soldiers for other enemies.
51:31 I think it is immoral to choose to have children in Gaza or any other authoritarian state when you know there is an alternative. It is better to risk your life to escape to a better country before starting a family. Thoughts?
52:17 Why can't StandWithUs explain the history of the "Levant" the way you do Yaron; it just isn't fair 😢
53:28 How do you handle obnoxious people?
53:48 Why is Trump criticizing Netanyahu publicly and not supporting Israel? Is he appealing to his anti semitic base? I see DeSantis has been exploiting this.
56:08 Is anti semitism a political formation? A political strategy to unite people through hatred and conspiracy theories in order to take power?
57:17 In the face of catastrophes like these I sometimes fantasize about how a superhero might solve the problem since regular people seem unwilling or unable. Who would you call to deal with Gaza, Batman or Superman/ hero of your choice ?
58:33 What do you think of Benny Gantz? Do you think he will be the one to replace Netanyahu once this is over?
59:54 Is the IDF the most altruistic army in the world?
1:00:32 Do some people not even know they're nihilists?
1:00:43 What do you make of Tucker Carlson's interview with Vivek about Israel, and Ben Shapiro's response?
1:01:26 I thought Bibi would be ruthless.
1:01:42 The left is very upset the Israeli defense minister referred to Palestinians as "animals". What a thing to focus on?
1:02:28 Is Hamas the modern day einsatzgruppen?
1:03:15 Due to Niko’s OCON talk, I’m listening to “The Lions Gate” by Steven Pressfield. Have you read it? Interesting perspectives!
1:03:27 Marc often talks about the "The ancient city" by Fustel de coulanges, and "the managerial revolution" by james burnham. Have you read either?
1:03:47 Innocents always die in wars.But far more innocents die when particular wars are not fought which should be fought.
