Comments by "Kristopher Driver" (@paxdriver) on "Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East | Lex Fridman Podcast #399" video.

59:52 "you have some bad people out there, I worked in prison reform...", coming from a dude who supported overthrowing an election. Evil people can be soft-spoken, self righteous and completely ignorant. Evil people sometimes don't even know they're evil... It sounds like he grew up in a Prager U boarding school lol proudly talking about having dinner with Lindsay Graham, Steven Miller and Trump and end on "listening and respecting people". "The facts continue to change".. No Jared, they don't. Words have meanings. That's not wisdom Lex. That's not humility or understanding of details. It's pitifully inept imho.

It's amazing how completely skewed his logic is. For eg, "strength" he says is paramount for peace... Meanwhile Hamas are showing strength and they got their supporters by Israel and USA strongman politics. Nowhere has strength ever led to peace, it always leads to genocides, wars, or slavery. It's such a stupid thing for a diplomat to say and he repeats it constantly.

@stellybrah true that. Nonsense is still nonsense though. So many of his statements are patently and verifiably false, as I noted in my comment last week. That kind of thing isn't helping anyone understand, it's actually disinforming people bring everyone further away from the full picture if they don't recognize what he's saying is fantasy.

Wow Jared is stooped... He says out loud Israel is a nuclear power. He thinks his plan would've given a million jobs to Gazans when 1.1mln of 2.2mln people are children. He thinks strength is a peace-making approach to diplomacy, as the first "obvious" important factor for peace. Jared says Saudi government killing an American journalist is somehow better than the actions of renegade terrorists. He thinks pulling money from Palestine and watching it flounder economically while dealing with blockades and a terror label on their government had nothing to do with them being unable to do more business with the aid they received. He thinks sanctions and impoverishing Iranians citizens, who are being killed for protesting their own government btw, he thinks hurting Iranians with sanctions worked and was great for peace. All of this within 40 mins. It's incredible how completely disconnected his thoughts are from material reality which can be quantifiably verified and/or referenced to historical outcomes. It's astonishing how much this man actually believes picking a side in a conflict was a wise path to resolution and then calling it "easy" for him to figure out. Just wow. This boy is unbelievably callous, dense, and narcissistic.
