"Throughout history, people committing atrocities have convinced themselves they're a necessary evil.
Evil is never necessary. Rationalizations perpetuate vicious cycles of violence.
Noble ends don’t justify vile means. Violating human rights doesn't serve a greater good."
Adam Grant on "x" - October 12th [referring to the recent pogrom of innocent Israelis by sadistic butchers].
Pretty shocking. What Grant is saying is that the Arabs have noble ends.
Another mistake he makes is that evil people convince themselves that they're a necessary evil. Actually - all too often they convince themselves that they are good. So the Nazis and so their modern incarnates the Arabs.
Another mistake he made was calling this a mere "violation of human rights". This was a heinous, brutal, vicious, massacre/pogrom that the English language has no words to describe.
On October 11th, four days after the attack, Grant tweeted:
"Don’t mistake silence for apathy. When people are quiet, they’re often busy thinking and learning.
Extroverts like to process ideas by talking them through. Introverts prefer to reflect before they speak.
I'm not disengaged. I'm listening to your views and formulating mine."
What view is there to "formulate". Only when you are a woke, pro Arab, hyper feminist Ivy league professor like Adam Grant, you need to formulate a "nuanced" view of this "conflict" and then later tweet out that the Arabs have noble ends. I guess genocide is noble in the Grant lexicon. At least if the victims are Jews.
Too bad. I used to like Grant a lot. Literally until today.
Such smart people can think in such twisted ways. The only explanation I have for this is a deeply rooted שנאת ישראל but I am totally open to other perspectives.
