Really liking Dersh’s argument around the 20 minute mark that Israel has to attack first because they’re too moral to retaliate. Good stuff.
Whenever I see Dersh these days I expect to hear "the attack by the Jedi has left me scarred and deformed..."
Rob Larson! Great guest. ”He has a good groatsworth of wit, Stephen said, and no truant memory.”
Sorry I missed this one live. I was astounded at how dated Dershowitz’s talking points were. It wasn’t even like an old man that lost his fastball, it was almost like Rip Van Winkle waking up after 30 years and only having an hour to catch up on Middle East history before the debate.
Greenwald is in a different league, this was a lot of fun seeing him do his thing. Can’t wait for the second half.
Hopefully the British don't use Dershowitz's logic and try to retake the United States since, you know, at one point in history the Brits were an adversary, and I'm sure King George said militaristic things about the colonies also. ;)
I think Iran is an adversary but they can be managed like the former Soviet Union. The recent evidence does not point to an unhinged, non pragmatic world actor.
Alan Dershowitz never seems to die.
If you want to regain some hope for peace, look at the top comments under the original video, here are some examples:
"The only good thing about Alan Dershowitz is that he's 85."
" "Israeli pilots would refuse to drop bombs on civilians" yeah ok"
"What a disgusting war warmonger... "
"What a dishonest actor Dershowitz has proved he is."
"The title of this video should be "Dunking on Dershowitz: How facts defeat propaganda" "
In fact, as far as i can scroll on my mobile browser, not a single comment is pro Dersh. The RUclips jury definitely found him guilty
When it doesn’t you can bet your bottom and last dollar then it’s are back at it
The fundamental problem is with the discourse of the nation state itself, not with some particular incarnation of it such as Israel. The nation state operates by the brute force of political power rather than by way of the voluntary peaceful civility of the 'stateless' market society. Von Clausewitz put the matter thus: 'Politics is the continuation of war by other means. War is the continuation of politics by other means.'
France and Spain supported the US in our war for independence and it could easily be argued that was not nearly as a just cause as Ukraine.
No
This is the worst argument I've ever heard. I don't know what the future is but in the past people could have done things differently? What a willfully ignorant way to think.
