Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Sam Harris DESTROYED By Norman Finkelstein As ‘Certifiably Imbecilic’" video.

The true stupidity of Netanyahu quoting about Amalek (and yes its spelt with a 'a') was that King Saul did not do as instructed and its what caused him to lose his crown. So not only is Netanyahu misquoting what he thinks he himself is allowed to do he's quoting something where the King acts improperly, the troops under his command act improperly and it gets him tossed from power. For any one interested the account is in 1 Samuel chapter 15 and you have to read right through to the end of the chapter to see what happens. Take note that the mistake made was the soldiers plundering with Saul's approval which was what they were explicitly told NOT to do. Forgetting the argument of why Amalek was being punished or if the punishment was overly harsh just consider the parallel to today and of the leader and his troops going BEYOND the rules of acceptable conduct. And that's the example Netanyahu is citing as justification for what he's done.

@thedoctor.a.s1401 I agree. Sam is normally so well spoken and his condemnation of Hams was after October 7th spot on. But his silence since is as you put it cowardice.

@johnzuma4688 And since those comments were made by Netanyahu has Sam Harris said ANYTHING? Sam made big deal on his own podcast that's here on YouTube about there being NO ABIGUITY that Hamas is an evil organisation just after October 7th. What has he said SO FAR about 1,000s of civilian deaths, the now more than 11,000 children killed by the IDF or any of the other WAR CRIMES committed by the IDF? Because I'd like to hear Sam defend those actions with his own DEFINITION of what IS and IS NOT ambiguous.
