Summary

Breht listens and responds to a conversation between liberal Zionist Sam Harris and pseudo-intellectual charlatan Eric Weinstein on Israel, Palestine, Islam, and more. In the process he deconstructs common Zionist talking points, highlights the colonialist framework that liberals and Zionists take for granted, shows how regular working people can intellectually confront ivy league PhDs, and offers up lines of argumentation that you, dear listener, can bring to conversations on these topics in your own life.

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Rebeless Patreon. Okay, so today I am going to

0:06.1

well, I'm going to respond to some liberals on Israel Palestine.

0:12.8

And the liberals in question today are Sam Harris and Eric Weinstein. Sam Harris, of course,

0:20.0

from New Atheist fame. He, you know, wrote a letter to a Christian nation. He wrote that book about

0:26.6

Islam in the war on terror. You know, he's been this New Atheist sort of liberal figure.

0:32.9

Very firmly centrist to liberal, you know, his politics will shift left or shift right

0:38.8

based on the issue at hand, but you can 100% put him in the realm of a liberal commentator and

0:45.2

thinker. And so I think what's useful about him is he's incredibly articulate. He's very informed

0:51.0

and these are and when he gives expression to his views, you know, it's not like

1:12.5

Advance our arguments, our superior analysis and just through this process show that our shit

1:34.9

is like an upper echelon liberal elite. And so when we wrestle with his opinions, we're wrestling

1:40.0

with the opinions of a faction of the ruling elite in this country and Eric Weinstein. I mean,

1:45.9

what do I even say about him? Some of you may be familiar with him through the Joe Rogan experience.

1:50.4

He's been on there a few times. I think he's an absolute fucking charlatan. I think he's the

1:55.2

quintessential pseudo-intellectual. He will talk as if he's intelligent. But when you really start
