#418 โ€“ Israel-Palestine Debate: Finkelstein, Destiny, M. Rabbani & Benny Morris

You know how complicated, have you ever investigated how complicated is the metric for hunger, starvation, and famine? It is such a complicated metric they figured out. If you asked me to repeat it now, I couldn't do it.

They start complete ignorance because we don't know. Professor Morris doesn't know. Muin Rabbani doesn't know.

It was a rhetorical question. Obviously you don't. You know why? Because I looked at the UN report. The Goldstone report? No, the UN report on the Great March of Return in 2018. And they said that the snipers were targeting children, medics, journalists and disabled people.

It's so boring. Virtue signaling. It is virtue signaling. When you say children over and over again, that's virtue signaling. You have this habit of mocking the dead. That's not virtue signaling because that's human life.

I don't care if a hundred are killed or a thousand are killed. I'm curious who you're assigning blame to. I'm curious who you're assigning the question. That's not the number. That's the responsibility norm. Muin mentions that more journalists were killed in Gaza than in all of World War II. That doesn't get it. That doesn't further any part of the conversation.

And more medics were killed in Gaza. No, no, that's silly. And then he says it's virtue signaling. But when Israelis get killed, that's serious. I never said it's serious on both sides.

I think it's a reasonable assumption. Perhaps it is. You're not the best person to be asking that question. You know, I read when you described Operation Defensive Shield. And you said a few dozen homes were destroyed. You're talking about what happened in the Jenin refugee camp.
