      If you think Muslims today hate Jews because of Israel and Christians because of America, you have been completely brainwashed.. I copied and paste just a few verses directly from the Quran. Take a look. Source: The Qur’an:
      “0 ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another: And whoso among you takes them for friends is indeed one of them. Verily, Allah guides not the unjust people”
      “Among the Jews are some who take words out of context, and say, “We hear and we disobey”, and “Hear without listening”, and “Observe us,” twisting with their tongues and slandering the religion.”
      “Due to wrongdoing on the part of the Jews, We forbade them good things that used to be lawful for them; and for deterring many from Allah’s path.”
      “You will find that the people most hostile towards the believers are the Jews and the polytheists.”
      “For the Jews We forbade everything with claws. As of cattle and sheep: We forbade them their fat, except what adheres to their backs, or the entrails, or what is mixed with bone. This is how We penalized them for their inequity”
      “The Jews said, “Ezra is the son of Allah,” and the Christians said, “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” These are their statements, out of their mouths. They emulate the statements of those who blasphemed before. May Allah assail them! How deceived they are!”
      “Ask the Children of Israel how many clear signs We have given them. Whoever alters the blessing of Allah after it has come to him-Allah is severe in retribution.”
      But remember we are told the Quran/Islam is a peaceful, loving, accepting religion 😂 as a person whose read the Quran 3 times, in speaking to many Muslims, I can assure you all, that majority of Muslims have not read the Quran themselves not even once! What a racist vile book! Truly is.
      By the way, the Quran mentions Israel 43x, The Quran mentions Palestine 0x. But remember brainwashed Jihadis in 2024 want you to believe that “the jews colonized Arabs”. The Arab Caliphate is the 5th biggest colonizing empire in HUMAN HISTORY!! The Arabs are originally only from the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, UAE, Kuwait) but yet society has everyone brainwashed to think Arabs are somehow also native to the Levant (Israel, Lebanon, Syria) and North Africa (Morocco, Algeria , Tunisia, Libya, Egypt)! 5th biggest colonization empire in HUMAN HISTORY! Those are the fact!

      Like, I study electrical engineering, if I was in a seminar talking about Q-learning vs. Proximal Policy Optimization for control of robotic arms, and someone came in and kept saying "that's great an all, but I think it's important to note that you can write code to control all sorts of robots!", I wouldn't want to engage with him, I'd want him to shut up and let the adults talk.

    Thanks for this debate Lex! Like always, those conversations I think are what we should do more instead of acts of war which we should do less.
    This free type of debate was nice. I would also like to see another format where debaters would have some clear goals in mind. Being on the same page with common starting goals could have beneficial outcome on the conversation and could make debaters more likely to work with each other to find a solution instead of getting defensive. Understanding the intentions of each individual from the beginning would also help me as a viewer understand their reasonings better. Lack of this common goal brought a lot of context switching which surely got a lot of brain fuel from them. Maybe breaks (hours or even a day) could also help regarding this in order to keep system 2 running for them and not have to deal with system 1's not-beneficial responses.
    Despite my constructive feedback, it is very nice to watch such conversations and debates and I learned a lot from how you let this one unfold!

    Im a single mother of three in a small town in South America and it has taking me three days to watch through half of the video. And it has been worth it all the way!
    I have known about professor Finkelstein since I saw him talking in a danish tv show. We were hundreds of thousands that left there homes to live in exile, due to the many dictatorships in our continent, and there are still many organizations and groups that work in solidarity with the people of Palestina. Thank you @alexfridman for letting small people like me, take part of what big minds think.
    Regarding the content, I wonder why suddenly the international community (like UN and all the orgs and agreements exposed here) are irrelevant. They seem to have been played a major role in the creation of the state of israel, but then not important when they had to keep the requirements of the same agreement.
    This person called Destiny (?), talks so fast, like he is step-dancing over history, also with a familiar cold attitude, the same adapted by those who refer to dead children as "casualties of war". So, maybe this whole table can agree on that the life of a civilian has been dehumanized (yes, here too). How much does it matter if it was 500 or 50 thousand, when only one is already too many and israel has crossed the line for what was imaginable for any modern society, or so called democracy. Either their leaders are highly guarded by more powerful people that themselves, and thats why they stay in power, or jewish people are just as selfish and moraly corrupted as they have been blamed for. How can human life (actually, life in general), be just a number that go up and down (like the exchange rate chart presented by Bassem Youssef). This makes me think about this program with John Steward at the Daily Show, and the famous frase "if you think like a human". Maybe we should just stop talking war-language. What about a table with activists that work - in the field - for peace achievements between the resident people in the area. Are they able to see any hope?

      Lo de Israel es lo mismo que pasó en su momento en Alemania en los 30s-40s. Los alemanos, así como tampoco los judíos, son seres malvados y corruptos. Ambos casos son la consecuencia de actores reaccionarios con demasiado poder, que a su vez radicalizan a sus respectivas sociedades. No dudes que muchos israelitas ven a los musulmanes como subhumanos.
      Pero lo peor de todo es que a occidente le conviene tener ahí a Israel, así que les venden armas y protegen para que estos funcionen de faro en el medio oeste, con potencias en desarrollo como Irán. Al final todo esto es causado por occidente, que mandó y financió a seres viles para que vayan a matar y robar tierras. En esos tiempos de finales de los 40 y 50s habían autenticos escuadrones de la muerte israelitas en busca de palestinos que matar.

      Lo de Israel es lo mismo que pasó en su momento en Alemania en los 30s-40s. Los alemanos, así como tampoco los judíos, son seres malvados y corruptos. Ambos casos son la consecuencia de actores reaccionarios con demasiado poder, que a su vez radicalizan a sus respectivas sociedades. No dudes que muchos israelitas ven a los musulmanes como subhumanos.
      Pero lo peor de todo es que a occidente le conviene tener ahí a Israel, así que les venden armas y protegen para que estos funcionen de faro en el medio oeste, con potencias en desarrollo como Irán. Al final todo esto es causado por occidente, que mandó y financió a seres viles para que vayan a matar y robar tierras. En esos tiempos de finales de los 40 y 50s habían autenticos escuadrones de la muerte israelitas en busca de palestinos que matar.

      Meine Damen und Herren, Bürger und Bürgerinnen dieser Erde.
      An die 2 Völker palestina und Israel. verehrte Mitglieder der internationalen Gemeinschaft, sowie Vertreter der israelischen Regierung,
      es ist an der Zeit, nicht nur Worte zu sprechen, sondern Taten zu zeigen. Es ist an der Zeit, dass das israelische Volk und seine Regierung den Charakter zeigen, der sie auszeichnet: einen Charakter von Menschlichkeit, Gerechtigkeit und Versöhnung. In einer Zeit, in der wir nach so vielen Jahren der Unterdrückung und des Leids stehen, ist es an der Zeit, dass wir uns der Vergangenheit stellen und die Zukunft gemeinsam gestalten.
      **Erklärung der Initiative:**
      Einführung eines alle Regierungen zum Schutz des vom Notstand betroffenen Volk verpflichtet. Wenn wir etwas aus dem Holocaust gelernt haben sollten. Ist es, das damals das jüdisch Volk auf die internationale Gemeinschaft angewiesen war. Einmischung von Aussen auf Hitlers Genozid. Wardie einzige Chance war dem blinden Hass und der entmenschlichung einhalt zu gebieten. Und das aus Vernunft. Aus Pflicht. Und um die 'VÖLKERVIELFALT dem interesse des einzelnen Volkes entgegenzustellen. Ein Staat gegen VÖLKERVIELFALT ist ein unrechtmässiger Staat. nationaler rassentheorien unterworfen.
      Initiative Notstand Palstina
      Die Initiative zur vorübergehenden Rechtssicherung der palästinensischen Interessen und Bi but v Menschenrechte vor der internationalen Gemeinschaft ist ein Schritt, der unmissverständlich klarstellt, dass das palästinensische Volk Anspruch auf eine politische Vertretung hat, die ihre Rechte in vollem Umfang wahrnehmen und verteidigen kann. Es geht hier um mehr als nur Prinzipien; es geht um die Wiederherstellung der Würde und Gerechtigkeit für jeden einzelnen Palästinenser.
      **Argumentation gegen eine Zwei-Staaten-Lösung:**
      Die Propagierung einer Zwei-Staaten-Lösung ist eine Beleidigung für jeden Palästinenser und Israeli gleichermaßen. Eine solche Lösung würde lediglich die Mauern des Gefängnisses verschieben, ohne die grundlegenden Ungerechtigkeiten zu beseitigen. Jeder Palästinenser verdient genau die gleichen Rechte und Sicherheiten wie ein Israeli, einschließlich eines israelischen Passes und eines effektiven Schutzes seiner Interessen vor Gericht.
      **Darlegung der Grundrechte:**
      1. **Menschenwürde und Schutz vor Diskriminierung:** Jeder einzelne Palästinenser verdient Respekt und Würde, frei von Diskriminierung und Unterdrückung. Die Vergangenheit hat gezeigt, dass diese Würde oft verletzt wurde, doch es ist an der Zeit, sie wiederherzustellen.
      2. **Recht auf Freiheit und Gleichheit:** In einer Zwei-Staaten-Lösung wäre die Gleichheit nicht gegeben, da die ökonomischen und sozialen Disparitäten weiter bestehen würden. Jeder Palästinenser sollte die gleichen Chancen und Freiheiten genießen wie ein Israeli.
      3. **Recht auf körperliche Unversehrtheit und Sicherheit:** Die Sicherheit der Palästinenser kann nur durch eine umfassende Lösung gewährleistet werden, die ihre volle Integration und Gleichberechtigung gewährleistet. Eine Zwei-Staaten-Lösung würde diese Sicherheit nicht garantieren.
      4. **Schutz der Familie und Recht auf Versammlungsfreiheit:** Die Familien der Palästinenser verdienen Schutz vor Gewalt und Repression, sowie das Recht, sich frei zu versammeln und politisch zu organisieren.
      5. **Recht auf gleiche Chancen und wirtschaftliche Stabilität:** Eine Zwei-Staaten-Lösung würde keine gerechten Chancen für die palästinensische Bevölkerung schaffen, sondern sie weiterhin benachteiligen. Jeder Palästinenser verdient die gleichen wirtschaftlichen Möglichkeiten wie ein Israeli.
      **Schlussfolgerung:**
      Es ist an der Zeit, dass wir uns gemeinsam der Vergangenheit stellen und die Fehler der Geschichte korrigieren. Es ist an der Zeit, dass das israelische Volk und seine Regierung zeigen, dass sie ein Volk von Menschlichkeit und Gerechtigkeit sind. Eine Zwei-Staaten-Lösung ist keine Option mehr, sondern eine gerechte und umfassende Lösung, die die Rechte und Würde jedes einzelnen Palästinensers respektiert und schützt.
      Lasst uns gemeinsam diesen Weg der Versöhnung und des Friedens gehen, denn nur gemeinsam können wir eine Zukunft gestalten, die auf den Prinzipien von Gerechtigkeit, Gleichheit und Menschlichkeit basiert.
      Damals entschied sich eine Familie nicht gegen Israel in den Krieg zu ziehen sondern sich im neugegründeten Staat Israel niederzulassen und mit den Israelis in Frieden zu leben. Nach der Zeit unter dem Briten sahen sie trotz aller Gefahren auch eine Chance. Diese Chance besteht bis zum heutigen Tag. Wir können bekämpfen oder ergänzen. Hassen oder Lieben. Wollen wir uns auf ewig bekriegen oder ewigen Frieden. Als Abu Gosh haben wir die Pflicht darauf hinzuweisen das unserer Völker ein Volk. Unsere Blüter ein Blut. Und unsere Götter sind der eine Gott und es gibt keinen Gottes ausser Gott. Versöhnung. Vergebung Wiedervereinigung. Wiedergutmachung. Integration. Das sie die Wörter die wir lieben als Geschöpfe des Schöpfers.
      Annnerkennung für Annnerkennung. Jeder palestinänser und jeder Jude dieser Erde. Haben das Recht den Staat Israel anzuerkennen und sich im Staat Israel niederzulassen. Gemeinsam sind wir der Beweis das es einen Gott gibt. Getrennt.. Beschämend wir die Welt, Gott und uns selbst. Und können immer mit dem Finger auf den anderen zeigen.
      Anerkennung für Anerkennung jeder präsenzer soll für sich selber entscheiden und wenn er sich dazu entscheidet den israelischen Staat anzuerkennen dann soll der israelische Staat ihm im Gegenzug israelische Staatsbürgerschaft geben und alle Rechte die dazu gehören und ihm in Israel willkommen heißen als Bruder. Lässt uns den Grundstein zur größten Bruderschaft setzen die je auf Erden gewandelt ist. Den Eck Pfeiler.

For example in interview with a Islam-promoting guy named "Omar", more like a politician doing PR treatment for Islam, Lex failed to critically even touch any of Omar's statements, which not only came off as unprepared, but ignorant as well. Omar went on giving all the stock Islam apologist statements, which with how eloquent Omar is made Islam look like it has no faults and no controversy. I find this unacceptable. Its as if a N4zi came in on a podcast sugarcoating their "ideology" and it was the interviewer's 1st ever contact with that ideology and does zero pushing and questioning of the ideology.

      “Israel is a settler colonial project that is nearing its end, as colonial projects reach their final phase become more brutal and ruthless.” ~ Ilan Pape The Jewish Professor
      “We are witnessing the end of Zionism, which is the most dangerous stage because it fights for survival, very cruel and violent. It is the darest stage in the history of Palestine. But it’s the pre-dawn darkness!” ~ Ilan Pape The Jewish Professor

      « Ahmad Yassine, founder of Hamas, was born near Ashkelon, also pushed with his family to Gaza by Israel.
      To refuse to see that 60% of Gazans came from the places where Israelis now live is to be blind. We cannot understand October 7th without knowing History.» ~ Shlomo Sand (Jewish historian)
      "The continuation of Israel’s crimes in GAZA and the continued American support with weapons may give a feeling for a moment that evil has triumphed, and that defeating it is impossible, but this is not true and Israel will be defeated and surrender in the end.” ~ The American journalist JT Chapman
      “The actions of the Palestinian Movement in October 7 are neither a terrorist attack nor an anti-Semitic attack, but an act of armed resistance and an uprising after decades of colonization.” ~ Judith Butler, American philosopher

      Without shoes and no modern weapons , without tanks and no F16 , without help of the NATO, without mercenaries and under unprecedent siege for more than 75 years , Palestinians are making history
      on the other hand the genocidaires of I0F have all of the above, and have achieved nothing of their objectives for 5 months in GAZA which is only 2 square meters, I have just understood the meaning of heroism and cowardice too

      The main difference is that the fighting that occurred before 1948 was not systematic, not done to ethnic cleanse a population, and was not planned by authorities.
      On the other hand, back then, many Jews and Arabs were living as neighbors peacefully.

      " The first time the phrase “human animal” was recorded in history was by himmaliar, in The Posen speech to SS officers (6 October 1943) - On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names on haaret dataset, 473 military and 675 were civilians.
      Ratio of civilians to military personnel killed on the 7th was 1 . 4 : 1 - lower than any of the iTf "mowing" operations, which has a ratio of 7 : 1
      According to UN OCHA data from 2008 to 2022; The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 7:1 with 1,023 military personnel out of 6,541 total. On the 7th, with 473 military (418 were iTf military personnel, 55 belonged to the police) out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.4:1
      When including all casualties, not just deaths, the collateral damage ratio of the "mowing" operations is a staggering 162:1
      From the 161,233 accumulated civilian casualties over only 14 years of "mowing" operations.
      A 162 :1 ratio means that for every 162 civilians, 1 military personnel is a casualty. The 7th had a ratio of 1.4:1, more than a hundred times lower.
      The 473 are - 55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants (45 of whom were sergeant majors), 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendants, and 2 Lance Corp. This was a military defeat, and they are taking it out on the rest.
      The reported ages of the victims are as follows:
      0-4: 2 civilians
      5-12: 8 civilians
      13-17: 14 civilians
      18-25: 132 civilians
