Harlan was smart...they expected him to pick a side and he simply said "Fuck Off stop killing each other and actually come up with a solution"

Seems like a clever guy, but from his answer you can tell he doesn’t know much of anything about the situation. Which in his defense he admitted.

It's his hobby. He does it for fun, not for money, so he can be sloppy. He doesn't want to have to science _people._ The implication being that actual political commentators are all either up to his proffessional standards... or they're not.

I'd assume that too, but after listening to some other interviews, it feels more like Harlan doesn't want to visit a country that gladly butchers his work just to make it more appealing to German audience. Stuff like changing I have no Mouth and I Must Scream to I Have No Mouth and I'm Screaming.

He'd fit in more if he went to germany (considering most of the top guys are jew themselves), like what the other guy said, Germany's known for heavy censorship.

That was awesome. I think Harlan was an opinionated man, but I think all things considered he was fair. Talented writer with an interesting personality. I don’t agree with everything he said, but I respect him and I would not care whether or not that sentiment was returned because people will be people and we like what we like and so long as you are not hurting others or yourself then go ahead. Cheers!

to be honest I think he doesn't know the details of what's happening in the middle east and he most likely doesn't know that Israel is actually European. He just generalized all of us because of our issues but honestly I don't blame him. I don't expect much of a guy full of hate. I still love him though
