On the Oct. 11, 2023 episode of his Rumble show Slightly Offensive, Elijah Schaffer hosted Keith Woods[…]for a debate on Israel’s war against Hamas[…]
Peterson, a libertarian Internet personality, framed the war between Israel and Hamas[…]as a “clash of civilizations” between “savage” and inferior Palestinians and superior Israelis[…]
“I sort of pull from Ayn Rand on this one who sees this from the clash of civilizations perspective,” he explained. “She sees this from the clash of civilizations perspective. She sees the Israelis as the advanced technological civilization and she described the Palestinians as barbaric [savages]”[…]“The Catholics came in and they settled Mexico and South America and they said there would be no more human sacrifices, for example,” he said. “I mean, how long must a civilized nation tolerate barbarity at its gates? … I very much see this as analogous to American expansionism and the fighting between American pioneers [and] savage Indian tribes at that time”[…]
Woods, in turn, argued that according to Peterson’s “might is right” philosophy Hamas’ attack on Israel was entirely justified. Peterson replied that there was “no moral equivalence” between Hamas and Israel because Israeli soldiers in Palestinian territory “don’t go to the music festivals and capture their women and spit on their corpses and parade them through the streets”

Peterson also compared Palestinians to “the Black residents in the South Side of Chicago who cry all day about how the terrible white man is oppressing them on a single day” and said he doesn’t “give special victimhood status” to them[…]
Woods also denied that Hamas’ attack on the Supernova music festival[…]“As far as the moral equivalence, again there’s no indication that the descent on the rave turned into some kind of mass slaughter. The latest footage to come out is Israeli police officers were at the rave firing at Hamas soldiers, and civilians were there in cover with the Israeli police”
