@Leo Gura I feel like woke has actually diverged in a lot of ways to hippie culture. Hippies like RFK are anti vax wheras woke people are staunchly pro vax -
If that’s true then why’d they give the Sinai back to Egypt in 1979 in exchange for a peace deal? Regarding the Westbank while there are elements that definitely want the land, they didn’t come into possession of that land until Jordan attacked them in 1967 so they took it from them (Israel warned Jordan not to join the war and we won’t attack them).

The current government hasn’t been particularly interested in peace. But also, a two state solution was offered in 2000 and rejected by the Palestinians with no counteroffer and Israel got the second intifada instead. Then they withdraw from Gaza in 2005 and get nothing but rockets from an Islamist group. Of course that’s gonna shift Israel to the right.
-
Hamas want to end Israel. What makes you think they’d stop fighting if they were given a state? You’re putting too much stock in a couple of public statements. Although I agree Likud doesn’t want a two state solution either and they never have. No one is blameless here.
-
@Leo Gura as long as Hamas are in power, peace will never happen? Should they not be removed?
-
What if Russia would already be in the Baltics or Poland by now, if it weren’t for NATO expansion? The causality could be just as easily reversed
-
US/NATO/UN intervention might be the only way. Get Israel to uproot the settlements and basically force a two state solution
-
@Leo Gura It would be useful to know what percentage of the Palestinian population wants a two state solution and what percentage want to wipe out Israel.
-
Israeli occupation not allowing a Palestinian state with a military etc helps fuel terrorism. However now can they be trusted with the rights of a full state? Becomes a vicious catch 22 that I don’t know how gets solved
-
We finally got out of the war on terror era, and now right back there we are
-
The debate between Cenk and the Jewish guy was quite good
-
I have seen far leftists/Palestinians on Twitter supporting the attacks, justifying anyone within Israel as fair game as they’re all settlers in their mind
-
Chomsky also recently said in an interview on a British program that Russia is fighting the war more humanely than US in Iraq etc. Iraq was 100% bullshit, but cmon…
-
@Leo Gura Have you heard of the Zimbabwe school case in the 90s? That one is pretty wild
-
@Leo Gura what incentive do these departments have to convert it up in the first place?
-
That is an interesting point. Dave Grusch must be engaging in a huge conspiracy if he’s full of shit
-
@Leo Gura You seem to be fairly anti conspiracy theories except when it comes to UFOs. Why is that? I find it hard to believe these agencies have kept this secret for 80 years.
-
@Leo Gura Still no actual evidence. These are insanely huge claims, gonna need more than hearsay. I’m open to the possibility, but I don’t see how you can be so confident. And why the hell are such advanced civilisations crashing? Humans rarely crash let alone something this advanced.
-
3:20 he gets asked about him, he’s going to look into him. I think they would have an interesting conversation
-
This is pretty interesting. She’s really outgrown the partisan purity politics.
-
To add to that, college graduates have significantly higher life earnings than non college people
-
Apple is awesome and people who say otherwise are snobs that are looking for a reason to feel superior
-
@Leo Gura I want the UFO stuff to be real cause it'd be cool, but I find the retrieved craft idea hard to believe. Am I supposed to believe an advanced civilisation that travels on an interstellar level is somehow crashing by accident on earth lol?
-
The problem I have with this, is how the hell can aliens so insanely advanced that can travel on an interstellar level, manage to crash on earth and just let us find it lol

Surveys also show that conservatives are more open to being friends with a liberal than liberals are to being friends with a conservative. It’s a pretty interesting phenomenon. I think people on the left can have a smug moral high ground that can be a form of intolerance.
