Alpha polemicist Sam Harris is an enthusiastic and persuasive debater, but in his June 5 substack post, reproduced in the Free Press, titled, "Why it's futile to debate Israel's enemies," he informed his readers that he would no longer debate antizionists.
Harris has concluded that it is pointless to debate with people who take a dimmer view of those who shoot rabid dogs than they do of the rabid dogs themselves. As he explained, "if my intransigence on these matters mystifies you, it might help to understand that, for whatever reason, I think militant Islam is ten times worse than you think it is. When I talk about "jihadists" and their various groups – Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, the IRGC, etc. – I'm talking about people who I consider to be worse than Nazis (jihadists being, essentially, Nazis who are certain of Paradise)." There is a "world of difference," he writes, between people who "'love death' more than everyone else loves life."
What Harris had to say – and I really recommend reading it in full – resonated in a personal way for me. Because everything he has learned about intransigent Zionophobes, I learned through many years of immersion in the dog wars. So I used the "rabid dogs" metaphor above advisedly.
Very early in my public opinionating journey, in December 2003, I wrote the first of what would turn out to be dozens of columns on the perils of pit bull love. My editor titled it "Muzzle the terrorists in our midst," a reflection of the column's guiding metaphor. My lede was a Colorado attack by pit bulls on a victim that left a scene so bloody several firefighters at the scene sought counselling afterward.

Harris been one of the Islamists’ top enablers by being a Democrat for so long.
Sam Harris is like a higher IQ version of Bill Maher. He occasionally gets something right, but he’s so wrong-headed that it’s a surprise when he does.
islam = communism + worshipping satan (aka allah, lucifer, devil, etc...)
Bill Maher seems like a more sincere change. I get the sense that Harris just did the math on his prospects as a white male lefty, even after being a loyal soldier to them, presumably to stay ahead of cancel culture.
Having read the original Sam Harris article, I think what Barbara Kay misses is the fact that Sam is applying a standard for one particular issue (namely, criticism of Israel) that he wouldnt countenance for anything else.
But hey, it’s not like Harris is known for intellectual consistency.
A Sixth Century Warrior cult with a moon
god as Their Idol. Inbreeding is also rampant which has it’s own effects.
Islamists. Pit bulls.
You forgot Carmelo Anthony.
SHarris is scum of the highest order. He is the jackarse who said he’d support Biden against DJT even if the former attacked kiddies in the basement of the WHouse.
I wonder who would win in a fight, pitbull vs. wolf....
I’ll have to ask the ai........
