Douglas Murray Gave the Most Epic Response Ever to an Absurd Leftist Question
IsraelUnwired.com ^ | February 18, 2024 | Phil Schneider

Posted on 02/25/2024 6:59:15 AM PST by Twotone

The truth. It’s that simple. Stick with the truth. Let the truth set you free. When people decide to not focus on what category of people they belong to but rather on what is right and wrong, then the truth has a chance. When people stop labeling themselves and others, then the truth has a chance.   

Douglas Murray does not focus on political correctness, nor on being a right-winger or a left-winger. He sticks with the facts and does it in a brutally honest way. It so happens to be that what is going on in the Land of Israel these days happens to clarify to anyone who is honest enough to see the truth that Israel is fighting against hundreds of thousands of barbarians and their supporters. The Hamas voting Arabs in Gaza, as a whole, want to kill all of the Jewish people.  

The people who are rallying for Hamas and against Israel are people who hate Jews who have gathered together to say, “Kill the Jews.” But they say it with a more acceptable-sounding euphemism, “From the River to the Sea….” 

When the world makes a tectonic shift as it has in recent months, those who stand up against evil are those who stand with truth. Those who stand with the evil perpetrators have chosen the way of lies, deceit, and darkness.

Never heard his name before and, until a moment ago, had no idea as to who he was.

But this is definitely a case of 'must watch' as he's vibrating while she 'picks' her words to toss the woke question about him as it pertains to what Guardian readership thinks of him.

I especially liked the part of his response where he describes a leftist Kibbutz peacenik recounting his 10/7 experience from the hospital bed.

Her question (to which he bluntly replies, "Tell the truth."):

"...a question that I want to ask you which lots of people have asked me to ask you um which is this which is there is you know the Jewish Community is a real mix of political beliefs and there is a large group of people who would who would call themselves far more to the left they would be the guardian readers they would the that side of people and they and they have said to me I love Douglas I love what he says but he's a bit right-wing and they say how do I balance my political beliefs with what he's saying and his his more right-wing beliefs and that they're struggling with that."
The crux of his response to her question:
"So I would say to your friends I beg you have some empathy and understanding for the people who can no longer afford to dream dreams that you dream."
Definitely a guy to watch for.

Search on Douglas Murray on YouTube and follow up a bit. If you get ambitious, read a couple of his books. He is fearless and heterodox. He is unyielding in his defense of Western civilization and has been sounding the alarm on mass immigration for years. He is also gay and, although he was raised Anglican, is now an atheist — but he calls himself a cultural Christian and stands unequivocally with the Jews (both in Israel and in Europe and the U.S., in the face of rising anti-semitism) in the current crisis. He also rejects the trans nonsense; he is gay, but a gay man knows that he is a man.

He is hard to label, but he speaks eloquently in defense of classical liberal values, is unapologetic in linking those values to Western civilization, and is relentless in speaking the truth as he sees it. He is therefore HATED by the left, as are all truth tellers.

Yeah, I know. My first response was that it was a bit Pollyanna to suggest to leftists that ‘the truth will set you free’ while ignoring that the left constructs its own ‘truth’ to buoy their lies.

But he did shut her down.

What the hell does Gay have to do with what he said? A brilliant mind is a brilliant mind even if the guy has a club foot.
Mark Twain had a brilliant mind and liked to drink whiskey. What the hell does whiskey have to do with his brilliant mind?

Almost 20 years ago when I was involved in a business I was seated at a meal with one of the principals and his wife (among others).

I can’t recall how or why, but she brought up the subject of ‘palestinians’ and I immediately interjected,

“There’s no such thing as a ‘palestinian’.”

There might as well have been a mic drop. The topic immediately shifted to something else and they never, EVER brought the subject up in my presence again.

I’d hope that he’s had the pleasure of doing the same and would very much enjoy watching that exchange.

The problem is most Feepers don’t like Murray because he’s gay. Oh well.

I don’t have a problem with homosexuals as long as they stay in their lane and do not seek to influence and/or harm children.

yes.

but they never admit defeat.

they clam up, run away from the slap down like the dishonest cowards they really are, and spout the same old lies somewhere else.

There are some stupid people who call themselves conservative or Christian and will reject whatever Murray says as insufficient to validate his ideas, because he is admittedly “gay”; yet he defends and supports the Christian underpinnings of western civilization.

Yes, they do.

Which is why I push for the rubber hose treatment & kneecapping.

If stupid people allow themselves to be tools, we have a responsibility to shut them down.

He’s been around a while. I recommend looking him up on YouTube.

He is very logical. He is also gay, although you wouldn’t know it - he is very quiet about it and doesn’t just argue the typical LGBT narrative, often the opposite, as it isn’t logical.

“Orient your life not by a political see-saw game, but orient yourself by the truth”. There are many, many people on both sides of the political spectrum who need to hear this advice.

It is really pretty straightforward. All fags are mentally damaged. There may be exceptions, but they are indeed, few and far between.

I am inclined to agree with you there.
