Here's a pretty long but very fair article by noted atheist author and commentator Sam Harris that is pretty much right in line with what I think about the morality of either side: http://www.tabletmag.com/scroll/1808...iticize-israel

This is actually a transcript from one of his podcasts, so if you prefer you can listen to it while you eat a hot dog or stare out the window (or both since we live in a free country).

I don't have to listen to this episode to know how utterly ignorant the conversation must have been. I don't think Keith or Chemda (sorry) have ever even wikipedia'ed something political before deciding to have a strong and loud opinion on it.

The conversations on these forums are only more sophisticated than Youtube comments because they're more clearly threaded.

Why don't you all have a real debate and actually be the smart people you assert yourselves to be? Cite your generalized comments with data.

That would be fun to watch.

We're all allegedly smart, right? We all have access to the same information, why are we drawing such opposing conclusions . . . hmmm.

I totally agree. I find that the best opinions are formed in the absence of research or evidence.

I'm so confused by @TheTweetOfGod. He implies that Sarah Palin is someone who should probably be stopped, but then follows only one person: @justinbieber

Forever the enigma.

Haven't listened in a while, but I downloaded this episode because Christian was in it. I was down in New York this past weekend and saw the opening night of "HA! The Musical". He and Big Jay Oakerson killed it. It's definitely worth the ~$10 or whatever (there is a drink minimum as well).

Also, I've been using Simple as my only checking account for around two months. I didn't know they were doing podcast advertising now. Their app is fantastic, and their customer service is good too. I paid over $300 in fees to my last bank over the course of two years, most of which I didn't even understand. So far it's been great, and not once have I wished there was a physical bank I could go to.

The politics of Likud are the politics of Republicans.

Hamas - as separate to the Palestinian people - are as equally culpable and extreme.

This "pick a side" shit is the whole fucking problem with the Israel/Gaza situation.

There is a movement of secular Arabs and Jews who are, together, trying to promote a message of unity - a third way.

I didn't like Keith and Chemda's position on this.

Christian tried to articulate a reasonable position that was consistently and unfairly being shot to pieces.
