Douglas is a gift to all who are starved for intelligent conversation. So refreshing.
💯 true
Absolutely.
Amen
So refreshing to defend the murder of children by the tens of thousands! You aren't a conscious human being by any of its definitions and instead are more representative of an animal!
Omg yes. Its so hard to find someone to have a intellectually stimulating conversation. People just talk boring crap. Or maybe I'm just a jerk. Lol
Douglas Murray is the voice of sanity.
Cynicism at certain levels is not sane to me.
@@jamesmedina2062 explain
Most of the triggers of SJW's are excuses, rather that actual reasons. They've been wanting to do it for a long time, and just needed an excuse. That's the only explanation that accounts for the inconsistency in what they get riled up about.
Be that as it may, his quoting of the pledge 'not to fight for King and Country' omits the fact that those then pledging thought they would be asked to fight the USSR or engage in defence of Empire. When they later signed up, they were fully aware neither was to be the case.
“An era of profound stupidity.” Amen, Douglas Murray.
רעשה וטפש אלוכים יד ביד "Evil and Stupid walk hand in hand" "At their extremities, Evil and Stupid become indistinguishable"
Scarey!!
It would be extreme profound stupidity to ignore the ongoing terrorism against innocent civilians in Gaza.
@jamesmedina2062 That's crazy considering the terrorists in Gaza started this conflagration. Besides their evil goes back to Black September - a thoroughly evil bunch no wonder nobody wants them!!!
@@jamesmedina2062 Douglas is targeting the inconsistency of those who get so riled up about it, not their apparent concern for Gaza. But if you're one of those who need excuses to be emotional, you will be sure to miss the point.
Douglas is the absolutely best journalist in the world. Honest, brave, fair. Just a pleasure to listen to his wisdom and analysis. I’m a big fan of his work and courage.
Yea, Douglas Murray is fantastic!!
Is he a journalist?
It’s very hard today. Most journalists just say what the leftists demand from them to say or write, and most of the time, not even the truth.
@@evanswafula7896 Yes he is. He is perhaps one of the few honest and objective ones out there.
@@miraleatardiff8543honest yes, but objective ?! 😂
I stand up for Israel everywhere, which cost me my job more than once
Oof, sorry that has happened to you. Thank you for being unwavering.
Thank you for being so courageous
Be strong and of good courage, my friend, for your costly stand for the truth! Your reward on earth is not sufficient a reward. Only an eternal reward is the perfect reward.
@Lee me too
Hats off to you, thank you very much!❤ from Israel
As a Canadian I am deeply ashamed of the Liberal response to the UNWRA Scandal and Israel as a whole. A majority of Canadians feel this way.
I sincerely hope that you are right about Canadians. My experience and observations here in Canada tell me a different story. Canada has gone through a profound cultural and political shift over the last 55 years. The entire country has been moved politically to the left to the point that if the Conservative Party of Canada wants to be elected, it has to cater to the "swing voters" and hence follow the leftist playbook. Most Canadian Institutions have been captured in one form or another by the " woke" identitarian ideology. Most Canadians do not recognize it as an ideology because for at least 3 generations it has been sold to them as what it means to be a good Canadian. It is now at the heart of the Canadian identity.
@@bernpesch9376 I am an immigrant to Canada and I agree with you about the swing to the left, but I also feel ashamed and angry that the financing for UNWRA has been reinstated without a single payment being missed, despite that 17 UNWRA employees were among the Hamas terrorists committing those appalling atrocities.
We are the simmering majority.
This 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Ontario/ Tronno resident is right there with you, as are virtually everyone else in my circle. Ditto my friends in the Kurdish Persian and Indian communities.
D'accord. Agreed! Save 🇨🇦!
Douglas Murray is a very smart man who understands what is really happening in Israel, the whole world needs to hear his true words. ✡✡✡✡✡
He’s a paid-up opportunist who always thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.
@@choppsiepacino8181proof?
Amen 🙏 Douglas is telling the truth!!!
@@choppsiepacino8181 He is the guy who knows the truth but blind people like you will not see the truth even if it is in front of you
because he usually is@@choppsiepacino8181
We lost Hitchens but thankfully still have Douglas.
Did Hitchens stand with Israel 🇮🇱 before and would he stand either Douglas on the same?
Christopher was a Trot. Douglas is a conservative. They were both brilliant and spoke the truth. Hitchens spoke out against Islamist facists. He spoke against the excesses of the Israelis but on this issue they would have had a great, civilised debate.
@@Wokko1963 I think Christopher Hitchens did a lot of damage as Judeo-Christian traditions are the only way we will save the West. It was Catholicism that kept islamism out because it is the antithesis to it. The secularisation of our society has created a spiritual vacuum and allowed islamism in. I didnt used to believe this but over the years I have realised that it is only by the West going back to those Judeo-Christian roots that we will repel evil because we will prioritise our own traditions.
Hitchens was a pitbull , unbeatable
@@user-dh3gn9ll6b I’m mesmerised by the debates between Gore Vidal and William F Buckley. Scintillating intellects from the left and right, with wit, humour and good will. I’m sure Douglas Murray and Christopher Hitchens would have disagreed on many things, but it would their debates would have been incredible. Hitchens’ greatest failing was his support of the Iraq war, despite his loathing for Bush and Blair. But he was absolutely right about Islamo-facism. Decades ahead of his time. After the events of October 7, I have no doubt Hitchens would have railed against Hamas in the most devastating way. Zizek, Hitchens, Murray, Buckley, Bronowski, Clarke (Kenneth), Hughes (Robert), Greer, Paglia, Wilson (Harold), Foote, Kinnock, Cronkite, Moore (Patrick), et al. They don’t make them like that anymore.
Douglas Murray, like Jordan B. Peterson, is a worldwide treasure…👏
🎯
I have absolutely no idea why you are a Jordan Peterson cultist given that he is utterly ignorant of the threat of Islam and sees little problem with Islam, and as such I have no idea why you think he is as great as Douglas Murray. Placing the two of them in the same sentence is totally surreal given that their final conclusions for society are utterly different. One is intelligent and the other is ignorant, one is a treasure and the other thinks he is.
JP need to stay out of religion & politics, stick to what he knows, he does not do his self any favours spouting off topic
@@CeruleanSword - What is surreal is your ability to turn an opinion into a fact. It is perfectly reasonable to say Einstein and Churchill are worldwide treasures. The 'in their respective fields' is implied if one has a triple-digit IQ. Dr. Peterson is not as informed on the Mideast as Murray just as Douglas isn't as conversant on psychological matters as Peterson. Both can still respect the other's point of view. Both Douglas and Jordan are worldwide treasures.
Calling J P a treasure is a bit of a stretch.
Douglas Murray is one of the brightest voices in the western world today...he speaks the truth with clarity, integrity, honesty and plain old common sense...cheers to him!
Douglas Murray is what you call a 'journalist'.
😅😅😅 he or she should be not dream about 72 virgins 😅😅😅 simple
@@travelwithanurag3092 What?
*_An absolute rarity in todays sick, woke world ..._*
Seems he is not the Only True Journalist on this planet they are very rare mind you. Standing ovation fir Mr Douglas Murray.
@@eleonoramostert8917he is a great journalist 😇
Having 2 critical thinkers on one platform has been a pleasure, more people need to see this!
I passed it on to E reunify I knew, sent it to my wall several times and Sent it to all the television stations News Feed. On top of that I send them 2 connections to support Israel financially. One Through Israel Consulater in their own country it the Joshua Fund where you can nominate where your money goes. It's amazing how you get used to eating one meal a day to save to donate to support Israel. Not only can you lose the extra weight, feel a lot healthier but most of all you feel like your standing next to the soldiers and Fighting with them in your own way even if your 🦘🦘🦘hops away from the fight. Go get'm boys and girls Am Yisrael Chai.
Don't make the critical error of thinking this guy in zebra socks is anywhere close to being in the same league as Murray. Their opinions are NOT of equal value, which is not a criticism of zebra socks man. Murray is not only highly academically educated, he's also the rare modern journalist who puts his physical self into the circumstances upon which reports & comments. He EXPERIENCES it, doesn't just observe and judge from the outside.... and his criticisms of Western "rights" (i.e. that we're ENTITLED to life, freedom, respect, comfort, money, etc etc) are a dead on bullseye. The West has become WEAK because (except for the military), the majority no longer takes action in support of what it claims to value. Cowards hiding behind "the wall" (as Game of Thrones put it) rather than each individual taking responsibility for themselves (physically, mentally & spiritually). Not all the sheople's fault, as we were induced to it by the "globalist humanity" dream... a mutual illusion that's nothing but an appealing idea that most buy into so international corps & their representatives can con more from all of us while we're distracted by or individually chosen delusion.
Douglas for PM!
That would be a great waste of this wonderful man.
I've been promoting that too.
Don't under-estimate the power of real journalism. You can have more of an effect on history sometimes than merely bein a PM. I'm not talking about cable tv. Those are just content creation platforms.
I stand with Douglas Murray and Israel! Love from (French) Canada! 🇨🇦
Me too from Australia
@@Momsaidwow- Happy Easter Karin! Joyeuses Pâques! 🇨🇦
same same same, from ontario via nova scotia.
I don’t observe Judaism, and I do not believe in the claims of the Torah. However, my father was born of Ashkenazi Jewish parents, themselves who were first generation immigrants fleeing the long hatred in Europe. If I, with my non-faith, but DNA, was time-travelled to Germany in the 1930s, I would be murdered in some hellish camp. If those still ruling Gaza gained supremacy over any patch of land that I was in, I would be murdered. As such, I appreciate everything Murray is doing to bring daylight to the truth of the current situation.
The west doesn't understand that Islam wants to destroy all jews and then all infidels.
I stand with Israel
Keep speaking the truth Douglas ❤
5:34 I shall stand and be counted. I am an ally to the Jewish people and to Israel. No hesitation, no equivocation.
same same same. thank you for standing.
Thankyou, good sir!❤
Well said.😊
Thank you God for Douglas Murray. He tells us, the UK, what we need to hear.
Unfortunately not many people (the politicians) in Muslim Britain are listening or acting upon his warning.
Long live Israel! ❤🇮🇱❤️
Could listen to Douglas Murray for hours.
Please Read. Douglas is not a non Jew for Isreal. He’s a person. A regular educated person. He understands the world. People are bringing their personal hate to their new country’s. WHAT These fools that protest want is for a charismatic leader to take up their cause. Just like in 1933 Germany.
The past does not repeat exactly. No year is "just like" any previous.
👍🎯💪
Like Bibi!
this is NOTHING like Germany 1933.
Plenty of islamofacists available and plenty of the garden varity. All enemies of civilization!
I'm grateful for your work and courage Mr Murray
*_"Tell me what you accuse the Jews of - I'll tell you what you're guilty of". Take that in ..._*
"Show me the man and I'll show you the crime." I think Stalin said this.
wow more advertising, haven't seen enough of that in my 43 years of life.
You are not alone Douglas .
Rights only exist if they are fought for, and maintained! Bravo. Bravo That is exactly it! Well said Douglas.
Douglas Murray is the GOAT! There are many of us (Canadian Christians) who support Isreal. We post the truth and have discussions with people who are misinformed. We just don't have the same platform that Douglas has. Isreal must defeat Hamas! 💪🇮🇱
Thank you ❤
He’s on the wrong side of history - and will be judged and stained by it forevermore.
@@choppsiepacino8181 So said Hamas supporter. You are on the wrong side of history by supporting the atrocities of the terrorists. Even after watching only a few of the videos that those terrorists were happy to film while committing sadistic crimes, the government of Israel blocked some of them from posting on the internet because they cared for the families of the victims who suffered so badly before they died (including children and babies) while the terrorists were laughing, causing them so much pain. This is what history will judge, not when the Israelis go after them. They are still holding and hurting 134 hostages; they didn't hear you express any worries for their lives.
I used to .. as a Canadian.. I can't support Israel anymore.. they can't justify 30k deaths for 1200.
Yea action group of talkers r going to solve it all ,how it going in trudeu stupid land .
I have a massive respect for this man.
Brilliant interview ❤
❤ Douglas Murray ❤
Douglas Murray verbally beats the hell out of Isalmofascists. Bravo!
there is no bigger warmonger or facist that the democracy called US of A. 16 countries invaded bombed, twenty million dead since wwii.
Brilliant interview and conversation Thank you Douglas Murray and Eylon Levy 🇮🇱💙🇮🇱💙🇦🇺❤️
So much logistics, smartness fairness in him, he will be in the history books 100 years from now. I following him from 2017 and my admiration is growing
As a Christian I am taught by the Bible Jews first and I am grafted into the family of God. ❤. I look forward to meeting you in heaven. You are a blessing ❤
Excellent, can’t wait for part 2!
Love you Douglas ❤🇮🇱 from Norway.
Big up to Douglas Murray!
Thankyou Douglas for * You * .A Light Worker on this planet Earth and enlightening and bringing forward Awareness, Truth, Justice, Humanity and So much more . I would love to know at least one person like you in My life.🙏❤️💯🌎😊🙏
Kudos to Douglas Murray - a man with the courage of his convictions. Bravo Sir!
Douglas Murray is the GOAT,
I had to look it up. Greatest of all time. I agreed 100%
Yes but he cannot box😂
Oh he can intellectually box anyone alright
Douglas, you are strength to so many Brits. You make me stronger every day. I love England. The English language. The fight We all have as English men. Do not ever mistake kindness for weakness
Hail to Mr Douglas Murray.
Winston Churchill will be turning in his grave now at what England has become
WWl and WWll are for sure upset.
Excellent programme. I learn so much by listening to Douglas and his excellent interviewer. Looking forward to part 2
Love Douglas Murray.
Class.
Thank you for being a voice of truth and integrity- there’s so many voices and I’m so grateful that I have figured out who I trust to listen to, and there’s a calming effect
Douglas's books are astonishingly brilliant-I've read them all and recommend them-a great read. And his standing up and speaking the truth is an act of heroism, although he doesn't see it as such. A brilliant thinker!
i want them all. the pain in my life is do not have the time to read now i had in my youth.
@@Scriptorsilentumunfortunate that is. But at least you can expose yourself to Douglas through interviews and the internet itself
I haven’t read any of his books, but I am extremely interested. He is brilliant!! Is there a book you would recommend as the starting point for me?
@@MissBeeeBeee i recommend The Strange Death of Europe. That was his first major best seller, and the first thing that ever introduced me to him (through a KZhead comment)
God bless you Douglas! Thank you for being such a strong supporter of Israel.
Just a supporter of common sense, really.
I speak out and I speak loud 🇮🇱🙏
Truth to power. I would stay in a foxhole with this brave fellow ANY TIME.
Douglas Murray, thank you!!!!
Brilliant , Douglas.
Outstanding and remarkable work exposing and defending the truth Douglas Murray! 💯 God bless you! 💯✝️🕊🙏 🙌 ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧🇮🇱🇺🇸
NEVER give in to bullies, or jihadists...so true, Murray
Any interview with Douglas Murray in is brilliant, thought provoking, and so true 👍
Douglas Murray is the best journalist telling the world the truth 💯✅👍👍👍☝🏾😇❤️🙏
King David would have made Douglas a General in his army.
douglas is an atheist and thinks the bible is stupid.
Highly doubt it….Murray is gay.
The world needs more Douglas Murrays! Thank you for speaking out against the blind credulity of the West about the issue with Gazans and Hamas.
Douglas Murray is SPOT ON!!!!!
Great intro of Douglas Murray. We treasure his wit!
Thank you Douglas for telling us the truth may God protect you.
A brilliant interview.Ccarried out by a very intelligent interviewer to one of the most brilliant thinkers.
I could listen to Douglas Murray all day. He's absolutely brilliant.
I would say that Douglas, along with Sam Harris, are the two best people at cutting through the baloney, and presenting this conflict in as clear a fashion as possible to understand what’s really happening here.
Harris is an utter coward. Doesn't belong in the conversation.
Has anyone noticed the same people who have been mocking us for years or being interested in the Roman empire, history and war documentaries are now the exact same people telling us we must listen to them about the current wars. I'm beginning to understand what the comic book and sci-fi fans have been complaining about for the last few years. The people who had dismissed them as geeks with a silly hobby took over and started telling THEM they don't understand comics.
Two of the very best men to come out of this awful nightmare for Israel. How clever they are. God bless Israel.
Britain would not be in this downward spiral if you ,Mr. Murray were our Prime Minister. You are a very fine and gifted man and I have the utmost respect for you and your message. I am in awe of your knowledge and your intelligence. Thank you,sir.
After a long hard day at work it’s so refreshing listening to Douglas Murray, my mind and soul are slowly coming back. The voice of truth and excellence, so so rare nowadays.
Douglas Murray is spot on, always! Thank God!!!
Hey Doug, you do such great work. May the good Lord Jesus Christ protect you & keep you safe...❤
Great content. Thanks to you two! Self-hatred runs deep in the west. That is the reason of the rot. Although it was said: You will love your neighbour as yourself. The last part was completely forgotten, only to leave the first.
Long live Douglas and Israel🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Lots of good points from Douglas!
Douglas you were certainly blessed with super intelligence, insight, clarity and reason! God bless you even more🙏👌❤
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive ... CS Lewis
If humanity is going to wipe itself out it will be with the best intentions and for the good of everyone.
Doug is masterful. His ability to deliver crushing blows drolly with encyclopedic knowledge and mockery is stellar.
Thank you Douglas Murray for brining sanity to our insane reality both in Israel and in Europe. Society needs more people like you.
Douglas is a very acomplished journalist. You can trust the news and comments he brings.He is intelligent, educated and it's a pleasure to listen to him.
Wonderful Douglas.......
I agree he’s among the best living journalists and of enormous courage. He does have to watch being too binary (too intensely critical of all Muslims), but I get that he has to be in some ways. In general a fully courageous and gifted thought leader.
He tells the truth when over journalist r pushing world agenda programs .
A fascinating and informative interview. Douglas Murray is a beacon of logic in a mad world.
2 ( of my favorite) intelligent men engaging in civil discourse without screaming , insulting or shouting at each other. 👏 🇦🇷
Thank heavens I'm not a writer. Now I'm permitted to say Douglas Murray your my H E R O. Oops. Gosh I am a writer, my fingers are hitting the key board. Oh well... your still going to be my HERO.
I stand and pray for Israel ❤
It’s just so nice to listen to an open conversation. Thank you.
Absolutely brilliant! We are a better world because of Mr. Murray!
Highly respect Douglas' comments. Always my first choice to listen.
It is clear 👏👏
Hail DM As the voice of reason! As already stated “We lost Christopher Hitchens & we are blessed to have Douglas Murray” ❤
Thanks for the facts & the hidden truth. God bless
Eylon, you're a hero in the darkness❤
Isn't all this Islamic bullying really boil down to this, I am coloured and as a result I have melanin in my body! You will bow down to me your deity!
Shocked that there aren't already hundreds of comments on this video and that mine is the first one.
I support Isreal, pray peace for Isreal and Jerusalem- daily. I pray for civillians, release of the hostages, protective miracles for the IDF.
11:12 gosh Douglas’s line delivery is epic here
What a pleasure! May God bless and protect you both. Israel forever God’s precious posession❤
These English voices need to form a political party to combat the issues the UK is facing. Reform, Labour and Conservatives - a bunch of mugs. The country needs a change in direction and a drastic one. The people are yearning for a new party.
Brilliant,,thanks for clearing up so much
Douglas is doing what the churches should be doing. As a Christian, I support Israels right to the land that God promised to them.
