Comments by "justgivemethetruth" (@justgivemethetruth) on "Sam Harris Vs Eric Weinstein: Israel-Palestine" video.

  1. There was a video on Twitter where a Palestinian mother was saying that she bore 6 sons so that she could do her Islamic duty and give 3 of them to Allah ( martyrs ) and keep the other 3 for herself. Can you imagine growing up with a mother like that?

  3. When Sam Harris states that Israel has the most power, and if they wanted to they could kill everyone in Gaza, which is more or less true. And it is also true because we see it all over the world that Muslims, if they had the most power, would kill most or all of the Jews exactly as Hamas did on 10-7. The Muslims seem to me to spin this is way that says that they only reason Israel does not kill them is the moral outrage they would generate, or the names they would be called and take advantage or that by taunting them with their own Western values. By what Hamas did, and Muslims all over the world approved of in that circumstance they seem to be all about barbarism, and flaunting it in the face of the West which has had its own barbarism that is fading into the past for the most part. Hamas and ISIS are a big middle finger to the idea of civilization at the same time counting on it to save them and allow them to take over. This just cannot be allowed to happen. The West cannot be so insecure and doubtful of its own existence that if falls for this kind of infantile absurdity. If the world is just raw power used to any ends, then they West has as much right to genocide as Islam does, and it is currently strong enough to back it up, yet the West seeks something better. The something better part is where Islam fails, it only offers people to be part of an end-times victory - in death by making the vast majority of their lives miserable and meaningless. Which is why Islam keeps the majority of their people in ignorance and poverty and rides herd over them like a sheepdogs. The West feels it can wait patiently for Islam to reform itself, but Islam is far more structurally stable than the somewhat-democratic West. The West has to be able to see and react decisively to existential threats, in this case it means taking this fight to the wall - to the end, as it did with Japan and Germany where now all are happier and more productive and free.

  4. Weinstein is all over the place. He does have a point but he is not really saying much different than Harris. The Islamic poor culture is apartheid vertically, it's a class warfare where the average people are born into and brainwashed into a low tech totalitarian system that generates slaves, soldiers and shields. I don't think we in the West can understand what it is like to live in a system where church and state are the same, and especially into this system that has evolved it to evil perfection. It's evil to everyone outside it,( and inside it too ) because it is an expansionist militant system that happens to be weak compared to the rest of the world. That's OK, they plan, they sell us oil, they learn in our universities, they buy our weapons, learn our technology and the West is just drunk with laziness and idiocy and we underestimate them, but these folks are very intelligent peolpe, they are not the pawns, the drones of their society, they are brilliant with technology. Then finally, I think another aspect of this is the domination of women. We in the West have gone a bit nuts in terms of equality of women and gay rights and not all this transgenderism, and it threatens Islam because they have a hierarchical society where women are dominated and owned by men. Threaten mens sex lives and you have a real problem.

  5. Usually have no use for Weinstein, but this suicide by cop analogy is a good one that should bubble to the top and be discussed in the media to try to explain why the "cops" in this case Israel cannot stop until they get Hamas. If they fail it's like there are no cops, no justice and no rule of law - and that is what Hamas wants.

  6. Jihadis lives have no value because their relgious & military governments keep them impoverished and miserable. And of course the people at the top of the hierarchy never suicide bomb anything. That is the real apartheid in Palestine.

  7. Sam's argument it seems to be is that Jihadis want to die for Earthly purposes. When you think about that for a second he is saying something about the Muslim's societies have found a way to break the survival instinct in a human being, unteather them from reality and brainwash them to do anything in the name of Allah, which is really a low-tech totalitarian training of citizens so tight that they can control their minds. So, are these really human beings then? If they are disconnected from the basic realities and instincts of a human, what are they, and how should they be viewed, say by the international criminal court? As unconscious combatants? Is there a way to rightfully dehumanize and judge a person just by virtue of being the product of a certain subgroup of a society? Lots of powerful people treat other people as inhuman or inferior, even when slavery is illegal.

  8. Sam says that we Westerners don't know what it's like to believe in "Paradise" ... which doesn't that imply that he believes he does or that what he ascribes about "Paradise" to Jihadis is a product of his imagination, a fake property he then goes on to blame extreme-Muslim's bad behavior on. It is a model built on something he imagines. is it not?

  9. I uncharacteristically agree with Sam. Sam who I first discovered on the Bill Maher Real Time show was great. Weinstein I have no interest is hearing any of his goofball theories or his lunatic brother too.

  10. 42:17 - These are people don't use language to communicate, they use language to manipulate. Wow, very relevant idea.

  11. 45:00 - So, Sam is saying we should do covert/clandestine operations to kill jihadis. And Eric tries to make a distinction, covert means deniable and clandestine means secret. It's not like jihadi Muslims don't already know the West is out to get them - so much so that they make up stuff, mostly lies, but those lies are made up because some number of desperate people in desperate situations without education, under massive brainwashing do accept this paranoiac threat and are convinced, and Islam not only encourages this fear and hatred of others, they create it as an art.

  12.  @elnora1469  That is only the cases for the people brutalized in Palestinian society local to Hamas/Gaza. You can bet the leaders of these cults don't want to die and probably don't believe the BS they force on their pawns. That is the real apartheid going on ... as usual, just like Marx said - it's class warfare.

  13. These guys, at least here where Eric is describing his "project for peace" is the non-state actors, and the triggers to the broader Muslim community. And the urgency of solving this problems before nuclear weapons appear in the arsenal of the Jihadis, or the infiltrate the West with the power to destroy American infrastructure. Eric's long-term transactional approach is just what Hamas and Muslims see as a challenge. They put up with it and then one day they don't - that is the whole lesson of Oct-7th isn't it?

  14. The thing Eric is talking about is that the US "blob" over-government, or whatever, wants anything for americans to associate any kind of information with power. We'd rather lose multiple wars than let our population in one what's happening, beause the population doesn't mean anything to the plutocratic circle-jerk. It is sensory deprivation for the American people until they become as crazy as Jihahis. That is the only way our leaders want to interact with us. Making us or treating us like we are ignoran children.
