ASLAN: Islam is just a religion, and like every religion in the world, it depends on what you bring to it. If youre a violent person, your Islam, your Judaism, your Christianity, your Hinduism is going to be violent. NETANYAHU: But our hopes and the worlds hopes for peace are in danger, because everywhere we look, militant Islam is on the march. Its not militants. Its not Islam. Its militant Islam. And, typically, its first victims are other Muslims, but it spares no one. LEMON: Hes making a clear distinction there. He says its not militants, its not Islam; its militant Islam. Do you understand his distinction there? Is he correct? ASLAN: Well, hes correct in talking about militant Islam being a problem. He is absolutely incorrect in talking about ISIS equaling Hamas. Thats just ridiculous. No one takes him seriously when he says things like that. And, frankly, its precisely why, under his leadership, Israel has become so incredibly isolated from the rest of the global community. Those kinds of statements are illogical, theyre irrational, theyre so obviously propagandistic. In fact, he went so far as to then bring up the Nazis, which has become kind of a verbal tick for him whenever he brings up either Hamas or ISIS.
