In this episode of New Ideal Live, Onkar Ghate, Elan Journo, and Nikos Sotirakopoulos discuss the global protests in support of the Palestinian cause. They look at the philosophical motives of these protests and the nature of their moral bankruptcy, and they explain why the “anti-war” movement actually enables warfare and destruction.
Among the topics covered:
The protesters’ lack of positive goals
Nihilism as the driving motive behind the protests
How “anti-war” movements have historically dismissed the fundamental moral questions about war
Why any “anti-war” movement that does not oppose dictatorship is necessarily pro-war
How collectivism causes the callousness of the pro-Hamas activists
The nihilistic nature of the ideology of egalitarianism
Why outlawing support of Hamas would require moral clarity on a policy level
The right to refuse to deal with or support Hamas apologists
