Shapiro: Yes because if someone called me a racist
[1]
without evidence they are definitionally a dumbass.
[10]
Student: I've been watching you for years now.
[12]
And I've read your book
[13]
on the arguments to fight against people like me
[16]
and I feel bad because like for the most part
[18]
the people that have been arguing against you
[19]
aren't nearly as elegant or eloquent as they should be.
[23]
But I just had to ask,
[24]
so one of your points you very strongly make
[26]
is that it's unfair for people like me to label you
[29]
as a racist or a bigot just as a smear tactic.
[32]
But have you ever acknowledged that
[33]
maybe it's not a smear tactic,
[35]
but it's based on things you've said?
[36]
For example,
[37]
on the Israel-Palestine conflict
[40]
you call the Arabs,
[41]
yeah you already know I'm going to say.
[43]
[audience laughter]
[44]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't meant to presume.
[46]
Shapiro: I've written several full columns about it.
[50]
I've talked
[51]
about how people don't read the followup tweets.
[54]
Student: I've read some of the tweets
[55]
and the tweets were just as bad.
[56]
I mean, you say a lot of things
[58]
that are just racist.
[60]
But then if I call you a racist,
[61]
then you defend it by saying I didn't read enough.
[63]
So what I was going to say before, you say the Arabs...
[65]
Shapiro: Okay, fine. So give me my racist tweets in context.
[70]
Yeah, you came prepared so do it.
[73]
Student: So you said the Arabs like to bomb crap
[76]
and live in open sewage.
[78]
You before that said Israelis like to build.
[80]
Shapiro: Okay, now the follow-ups
[82]
because you said the follow-ups didn't make it any better.
[84]
Student: Well, there's separate things that you said
[87]
that were also pretty bad.
[87]
Shapiro: No, no, I want the follow ups to that one though.
[88]
Student: Follow ups to that specific tweet?
[89]
Shapiro: Would you like me to get them?
[90]
I'll get them.
[91]
Student: If you have them sure.
[92]
Student: Do you mind if I continue while you do that?
[95]
Shapiro: Well, I'd like to take them one by one.
[97]
Why don't we do this?
[98]
Why don't we delay that one until the end
[100]
while I look this up from the podium in front of 600 people.
[103]
[audience laughter]
[110]
Student: On that particular issue,
[112]
you've also said that the Arab Palestine populace
[114]
is constitutes the most evil population
[117]
on the face of the planet.
[118]
Before you said that you've never brought up religion
[119]
when it comes to abortion,
[121]
but I don't think that you've avoided religion
[123]
when it comes to the Israeli conflict.
[124]
And I don't know that you can be completely unbiased
[126]
on the issue given that...
[127]
Shapiro: Well I can be unbiased on the subject
[129]
that the Palestinians have elected
[130]
three terrorist governments to form a unity government
[132]
with the stated goal
[134]
of the destruction of the state of Israel
[135]
and the murder of all Jews in the area.
[136]
So that I can be relatively unbiased.
[138]
As far as the idea that the Palestinian population...
[140]
[audience applause]
[145]
As far as the idea that the Palestinian population
[147]
is more evil than other populations,
[149]
they certainly hold more evil views than other populations
[151]
by poll statistics.
[152]
By how many Palestinians approve of terror attacks.
[155]
By how many Palestinians voted for
[157]
the actual terror group Hamas
[158]
and another actual terror group, Palestinian authority
[160]
and another actual terror group Islamic jihad.
[163]
I don't think that all views are equal,
[166]
and I don't think that people who hold evil views
[168]
are necessarily good.
[170]
I'm sorry if the polls don't support the idea
[173]
that everyone is equally wonderful,
[175]
but everyone is not equally wonderful.
[177]
I'm looking up these statements now
[179]
if you'd like to give me a second.
[180]
Student: You've continued, you deny secular Zionism and...
[183]
Shapiro: Okay so here I've got this one.
[185]
I guess I'll finish that one then we can move.
[186]
Okay ready?
[187]
There are many, many Christian and Muslim Arabs
[189]
who are wonderful people,
[190]
just not the ones who oppose Israel,
[192]
and the Israel-Arab conflict.
[194]
That would be the response within the same Twitter thread.
[198]
Okay in the post re: Israelis versus Arabs,
[200]
I wrote about Arabs who take part
[201]
in the Israeli-Arab conflict,
[203]
as anyone who can read knows hashtag dumbasses.
[205]
[audience laughter]
[208]
Quote, I think it has much more to do
[210]
with the fact that the Palestinian leadership
[211]
supported by the Palestinian population
[213]
uses millions for terror.
[215]
I should have been more specific.
[216]
Arabs who actively seek Israel's destruction.
[219]
Those would be the follow-up tweets.
[220]
Does that sound like a genocidal mania to you?
[222]
Or does it tell me I'm specifically labeling
[224]
a group of people who have called for Israel's destruction?
[226]
Student: I like to point out that you're not a racist,
[228]
but they're dumbasses and you're allowed to insult them.
[231]
Shapiro: Yes,
[232]
because if someone calls me a racist without evidence,
[233]
they are definitionally a dumbass.
[234]
Student: What is genocide, wait...
[236]
[audience applause]
[247]
Student: So you said that
[249]
you want to be like Churchill, right?
[250]
And after the allies,
[251]
when they moved the German speaking Polish out of Poland...
[253]
Shapiro: So now you're talking about a column I wrote
[255]
when I was 19 years old,
[255]
that I actually, that I morally abhorred
[260]
and denounced myself, I think six years ago
[264]
and have repeatedly and have repeatedly said
[267]
was a bad column that I wrote when I was 19 years old?
[269]
Student: Okay.
[270]
Shapiro: Okay so, next?
