Ugh, I’m going to need some pepto after that. How do these two death mongers have any platform? Christians should be appalled that these two are speaking for them. Any progressives who applaud any part of that need to spend some time contemplating their values.

Powerful. Thank you, Noah, for your sharp writing and moral clarity.

What were these guys basically arguing about? Was it Israel's right to exist? That is archaic at this point in history. Yes, you are quite right that these two guys should not be setting any parameters for discussions on the Middle East. Among many, many others things, they do not have the necessary background to speak authoritatively; they are each laying out absurdly simplistic reasonings, if they can be dignified with the term "reasonings." And, as you say, they are not even addressing the issue at hand, which is genocide.

it was a long discussion about Israel policy, which touched on a lot of issues.

It's weird when intelligent people say of Carlson, essentially: "He'd like to see large swaths of the populace die horribly, but he makes some excellent points." Not sure if this reflects a desperation for alliances, or simply a flattening of moral clarity.
