It's too bad CC are not available on Hebrew RUclips videos... I'd love to learn more from Leibowitz.

Leibowitz was a fascinating and interesting person!

I am also a Leibowitz admirer, but when Mr Kahneman states Leibowitz was "peace loving" he is simply mistaken. Leibowitz never believed in peace with the Palestinians. On the contrary, he said all along that Jews end Palestinians are fundamentally irreconcilable. Being against the occupation never meant in his mind that it has something to do withe peace. This is well documented.
