Destiny's First Debate w/ Cenk On Israel ►kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2ismIardqmXg7M Insanely Heated Debate vs Glenn Greenwald ►kzbin.info/www/bejne/faKVont3gpZkms0

[@arimilo]

As an Israeli American who grew up in Israel, and lives here- I can say that all the ridiculous things that Cenk says about how Israeli's view the situation- is farthest from the truth. Also, this notion that the death toll is going to be linear and based on how things have been is BS- I would love to see a graph of casualties on the Palestinian side, as I would believe that while the number is going up, it is way way lower since the ground invasion began. How the F does he say that Israel's numbers are propaganda, but Hamas's numbers are accurate. When there are video of Hamas, showing them conduct combat in civilian clothing- I think it helps demonstrate that the numbers are skewed or include terrorists. Finally- Israel has to throw its own government, but for the past 10+ years of the Hamas rule- there is no obligation for their people to overthrow the government? I really don't believe that Bibi will be in power at the end of this, everyone at the top who was in power- needs to go. Ministry of Defense, Prime minister, Head of the army, head of intelligence etc. There is a time for everything, and when this horrible war ends, things will change within Israel- not when it's fighting. So glad this loser Cenk has no future in politics. Oh, I'm only 15 minutes in 😂

Cenk is a textbook example of how not to debate.

[@zer0875]

Imagine if the Palestinians were white and had blond hair.

[@benb6527]

Cenk (a... Turk) believes that we shouldn't go back to 1967 to consider how the occupation started. Wonder why he doesn't want to keep creeping back in history? Perhaps because this whole problem was caused by the Ottoman Turks screwing up this whole region playing arabs against every other group (Jews, Assyrians, Armenians, Christians, Druze, Africans, anyone not Islam/Arab). Palestinians do hate Jews for being Jews. They always fall on the side of Jews being at fault, just like Cenk. That is the Jew hate - the application of agency PURELY to Jews. Whenever Palestinians are called on to judge who is their oppressor - Jews or Islamists, they ALWAYS choose Jews, and so does Cenk.

[@KanyeNuts]

i can’t believe cenk was talking about how sad he thinks it is that civilians are killed and then he says that hamas isn’t as bad as the nazis because they haven’t killed as many people. but cenk i thought any deaths are bad why would it matter how many they are able to kill. it’s the intention that matters, just because the hamas wants to kill more but can’t doesn’t mean they aren’t similar. he’s just antisemitic and only cares if people on his side dies

[@paulmarino418]

I like how Cenk assumes that Israel's numbers must be propaganda but not the death tolls presented by Hamas

[@LabTech41]

He's been told by multiple people that the numbers he's quoting are Hamas numbers, but he doesn't care because for some bizarre reason he thinks making the Palestinian side of the conflict as his signature campaign issue is somehow going to deliver him an electoral landslide. Hamas doesn't care about losses, on either side, but they know their rivals value life, so they use that as just another weapon, and Cenk's more than happy to be their useful idiot, because he hates Israel about as much as they do, and the only question is whether he hates Armenians more. I know he said he's running as kind of like a message/protest thing, but I know Cenk's ego: that's a smokescreen and he's in deep denial about how little of a chance he has, but if he admits he's lost before he began, his ego will shatter.

[@user-hu2ed8oe8m]

Cause other independent agencies have verified hamas health ministrys death toll numbers for decades. They were almost always on point. Probably a handful of deaths off in most cases. Thats why its believable because they havent shown otherwise. On the other hand...

[@benb6527]

He also says "Netanyahu must be replaced" - how? "Elections!" Destiny: Well why shouldn't we expect Hamas to replaced and Palestinians select a new leadership? Cenk: NO ANSWER Cenk: Jews have agency, Palestians have none Palestinian leaders bank accounts: $11 billion

[@Jasoncrim]

DID you just say the IDF values life? IS that a joke? Personally I have trained with the IDF. Im curious about your personal experience. you know.. as a LAB TECH.. @@LabTech41

[@LabTech41]

@@Jasoncrim It objectively values it more than Hamas does; I can say that with confidence, because the IDF will take effort to minimize civilian casualties, while Hamas takes efforts to maximize them. If you can't even grasp that distinction, you're not operating in good faith. Also, that clearly fake anecdote about training with the IDF was completely unnecessary, and only serves to demonstrate how bad faith you are. As for my personal experience, I've found that typically far left ideologues are as patently disingenuous as you've been, which is why you can rarely if ever have a meaningful discussion with them. I DO know that hospitals lose their protected status when the Palestinians build a ton of fake ones, knowing that putting their weapons, secret tunnels, and soldiers in them will earn sympathy from the useful idiots when the IDF has to attack them in order to neutralize threats. Also, personally, you'd be a lot less cringe if you operated in good faith, didn't rely on fake anecdotes and ad homs to push your groupthink narratives.

As a results of it some of them left, some of them left and some of them stay. The Arabs that stay got an Israeli citizenship. They are 20% of the population. 3) the act of giving all the Palestinian citizenship is both unjust because it will make the Jews a minority and we know what happen to Jews under Muslim rule. And it also unsmart because this is a recipe for perpetual civil war. No one in this region thinks that 1 state is a good solution

[@NikoBased]

Cenk is terrible at debating. I've seen probably a half dozen or so debates with Cenk, where he's debating people I agree with, as well as disagree with. Cenk loses all of the debates for the same reason. He does this thing where he relies on emotional reactions, and it actually makes me laugh now. The first several times I watched him do it, I remember getting really annoyed by it. Now I've come to realize it's just a debate strategy. It doesn't work though. Perhaps it works on people with swollen amygdala's, but it's not going to win a debate.

[@DeatrahBello]

Even though I may agree with him to a certain degree just the fact that he sounds like a child when debating is such a turn off. This is the second time I’ve heard him debate and he did the same thing then.

[@drownthepoor]

@@Robberlin100 A question though. You saw that, and it greatly affected you. Why did that affect you so much versus say a 3 year old girl who has been bombed in Gaza? Is it the disrespect of the dead? Because I think you have this misconception that one side is more ruthless and vile than the other. They both would equally enact the same vile things on each other. One side is not more civilized or fair than the other, but because we have such strong political ties to them we are led to think this. You'll never get either side to stop hating the other for this reason. However, I think many in Israel are removed from this terror because they've experienced less of it vs Gaza where so many of them are freshly enraged because of the counter-actions. I'm not on either of their side because I think they are both pretty terrible.

No. This is a broken culture and can't be fixed. The only solution is keeping it contained.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

@@drownthepoor You can't create a moral equivalence between what was done to Shani Louk on Oct. 7th, and a Gazan child killed in an Israeli air strike that was a military response to Hamas's act of war, after the IDF warned civilians to leave an area that was targeted for military strikes because Hamas was using it for military purposes. A death like that COULD be prevented by that child's own people, if they valued her life enough. Why are there no civilian bomb shelters in Gaza, when they're everywhere in Israel? Even the Nazis in WWII cared enough about their own civilians to build bomb shelters, and to organize evacuation protocols, eg. in neighbourhoods where there were no shelters they would designate homes with the strongest and most spacious basements to be the places of refuge for the whole street whenever there was an air raid warning. Hamas just shoots civilians trying to flee danger. The IDF, for all the wrongs they've done, would simply never do to a Palestinian - even a captured Hamas fighter, let alone a female civilian - what Hamas did to Shani Louk. Israeli civilians - children included - would never run behind the mutilated body of a Palestinian civilian woman hitting and spitting on her. And you know that. We're not dealing with the same kind of humans here.

​@@sisandamatomela3272The problem is that everyone wants to put that blame on Israel. Hamas is the Authority in Gaza for all intents and purposes. It is their responsibility to insure the safety of those innocents. They provoke an attack from Israel and then just hide amongst the population. They have these underground tunnels and bunkers that hide away their soldiers but they don't let the civilians in there which would at least somewhat protect them. I haven't heard of a single measure Hamas has taken to protect it's people from the bombs or the ground forces. The fact is it's not Israel's job to care for the people of Gaza. Even still they have done more than any other army would do when it comes to trying to minimize the casualties. However it is unrealistic what people keep trying to argue. Hamas should be the ones trying to get their people out of harms way. That's just a fact. The exact number of people killed is what people focus on because they are trying to find a way to blame Israel. The fact is that if you want to blame people for the deaths blame Hamas period. Those deaths are on their hands. They started a conflict with no means to protect those innocents when they knew retaliation was coming. Not only that they are operating out of civilian infrastucture. That's just the facts. If they wanted a better life maybe they shouldn't have burned down those green houses Israel left for them. How about that flower exporting business? The fact is Gaza could have gone in a completely different direction. Instead they want to tear up pipes and fire rockets. This was preventable in so many ways on both sides but it's only one side that gets violent first. So many points on the Palestinian side get ignored so much because they are the ones who have lost out and it's understandable that people feel emotionally charge at what they are going threw but it's not all on Israel and it's down right wrong to keep holding them to this standard but then people want to excuse Hamas actions. The deaths happening now are beyond description but so were the deaths and kidnappings on 10/07. All is precious period. Throwing out all these numbers in an attempted to assign some kind of blame on Israel is disgusting at best. Life is precious and Hamas went into Israel on October 7th to end life and to cause as much damage as they could and they went there with that sole purpose. Then said they would do again and again. There is no acceptable number when it comes to something like that. The fact is they did what they did. Israel is now responding. The problem is that Israel is far more capable of killing more people without trying to. So proportionality is just not an argument here. The fact is Hamas should have focused less on trying to kill as many Israelis as possible and more on trying to find a way to maybe take care of it's people.

I like this moderator. He doesn't dominate the debate but steers it back on course.

[@ogbmt]

Eli is actually fantastic at this. Most moderators don't seem to do much positive for a debate and generally just serve as a safety net in case one side gets really unhinged or constantly interrupts at any point.

Bc you have up on the fight. No free healthcare, no getting money out of politics, and no longer looking for politicians who take no corporate pac money. No longer advocate for two state solution, and you got sour.

[@Inaf1987]

@@getoffthegames89 Ok, so when are these free market candidates getting elected? Reagan ended up with the largest deficit as % of GDP, all he did was make up stories about single mothers on welfare. Barry Goldwater, despite my disagreement with many of his positions, was a true fiscal conservative and he lost in one of the largest landslides in election history. Trump doesn't even give the bare minimum lip service to the free market, he's talking about more subsidies to the suburbs, which are the main reason why we have people dependent on welfare in the first place.

Cenk became popular as a response to post 9/11 jingoism, it makes sense that he's been living in 2006 since then.

[@DecayedPony]

I hate how he does that, puts words in his opponents mouths / assumes their stances

[@Raidur7215]

​@DecayedPony It's a super lazy way to argue. IMO it's all too common today, grand standing on statements nobody disagrees with instead of actually arguing the point. In Cenks defense he does also have arguments, but yeah its annoying and doesn't help his position at all.

​@traderjoe27 No, they did not. How are you this dumb or dishonest? The 1973 war ended with Israel 100km from Cairo, which forced outside powers to make the war stop. Israeli gave the Sinai back after Camp David accords. Why lie when this is easily researched?

[@cjpack]

@@traderjoe27 took what back from who? SInai wasn't captured by israel until 1973 after israel went on the offensive after driving out invaders in the yom kippur war and then given to the egyptians for a peace deal.

[@GilTheCohen]

@@cjpack You are actually both wrong - Sinai was captured during the Six days war in 1967. Egypt kicked ass in 1973 until they didn't and lost again. It was not until 1982 when Sinai was being withdrawn and handed to Egypt as a part of a peace treaty.

Cenk, Israel left Gaza in 2005. So why did they attack Israel on the 7th of October? There was no occupation in Gaza before the 7th of October

[@stefansekulic7903]

They started launching rockets in 2006 and 2007 as soon as Israel withdrew.

[@Milton_Friedmanite]

The irony in Chenk telling people they don’t care about the deaths while defending Hamas and claiming they do care….

[@T3HCn0l0gy]

The problem isn't that Chenk supports Hamas, I guarantee if you asked him that directly his response would be a wholehearted no. The problem is that Chenk has this wholly unrealistic worldview where if Israel was just nicer to Palestinians Hamas would magically disappear and peace would fall upon the land. He seems to have basically no basis for believing this other than "Obviously people would stop fighting." Its like he takes an argument between teenagers and applies it to geopolitical conflicts. "Well if they would both just be nice to each other they'd get along.".... Yeah Chenk.... yeah they would.
