Bernard Lewis and Leon Wieseltier vs. Edward Said and Christopher Hitchens
Although I appreciate You bringing this unique presentation of some of the most influential intellectuals on West's perspective of the Middle East in one place - but this is not debate.
They only present their subjective perspective on the situation,
without arguing anything specific.
The one thing they all seem to agree,
is that "the West" has no clue about the Middle East,
and the notion, that almost as if intellectually incapable.
Indeed, it was a wimpy debate.They only present their subjective perspective on the situation,
without arguing anything specific.
I would love to see a real debate. Both sides at facing tables challenging each other.
I would like to see people like Susan Akram, Rashid Khalidi, Virginia Tilley, Nur Masalha, Ilan Pappe
Noura Erakat, Lamis Deek, Salma Karmi-Ayyoub,Nadia Hijab. Of course there are more but more than a half dozen or so on each side would be unworkable.
Who are some of the people you would want on your side? Just curious.
Indeed, your list of cartoon characters are included in most of your silly YouTube videos.
The question was: What Israelis can handle a debate?
Should I offer a youtube video in response to your YouTube video?
Sure, that would help. Bet you can't post one that is not a PMW or MEMRI.
