Episode notes
Arafat's Deception
- Arafat exploited the Oslo process, using gained territories for attacks, as revealed in his Arabic statements.
- Increased violence post-Oslo aimed to maintain his terrorist image, mirroring the 2000 Camp David Accords.
Clintons Hugging Arafat
- The Clintons hugging Yasser Arafat at Camp David disgusted many, seemingly legitimizing terrorism.
- Arafat, responsible for murders like Leon Klinghofer's, was considered an arch-terrorist by Ben Shapiro.
When to Rebel
- Armed resistance is a last resort when other avenues like elections, lawsuits, and state resistance are exhausted.
- Consider who you'd target, as violence against friendly forces lacks justification in non-tyrannical contexts.
