      <title>Thomas Paine - Christopher Hitchens Lecture (Full)</title>
      <description>http://www.npr.org/2007/10/23/15328527/hitchens-how-paines-rights-changed-the-world'Thomas Paine's Rights of Man: A Biography'by Christopher HitchensChristopher Hitchens, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of God Is Not Great has been called a Tom Paine for our times, and in this addition to the Books that Changed the World Series, he vividly introduces Paine and his Declaration of the Rights of Man, the world's foremost defense of democracy. Inspired by his outrage at Edmund Burke's attack on the French Revolution, Paine's text is a passionate defense of man's inalienable rights, and the key to his reputation. Ever since the day of publication in 1791, Declaration of the Rights of Man has been celebrated, criticized, maligned, suppressed, and co-opted, but in Thomas Paine's Rights of Man, Hitchens marvels at its forethought and revels in its contentiousness. Famous as a polemicist and provocative commentator, Hitchens is a political descendent of the great pamphleteer. In this engaging work he demonstrates how Thomas Paine's book forms the philosophical cornerstone of the United States of America, and how "in a time when both rights and reason are under attack, the life and writing of Thomas Paine will always be part of the arsenal on which we shall need to depend." Christopher Hitchens is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a visiting professor in liberal studies at the New School in New York. His books include Why Orwell Matters, Thomas Jefferson: Author of America, and God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.</description>

      <title>Christopher Hitchens on Antisemitism</title>
      <description>Christopher Hitchens explores the history, pathology, and modern resurgence of antisemitism. From the "immaculate misconception" of Zionism to the "filthy prejudice" found on both the political right and left, Hitchens delivers a masterclass in historical truth and intellectual resistance.Is anti-Zionism always antisemitic? Can a bigot ever make a true statement? Hitchens tackles these difficult questions head-on, citing figures as diverse as Theodore Herzl, Ernest Hemingway, and Albert Einstein. He argues that antisemitism is not just a threat to Jewish people, but the "common enemy of humanity" and a gateway to tyranny. This comprehensive analysis covers the Dreyfus Affair, the "seismic" nature of the Jewish Enlightenment (Haskalah), and the current dangers of global extremism.00:00 – Introduction: Is Anti-Zionism Antisemitic? 02:12 – The History of Jewish Anti-Zionism and Leftist Critiques04:06 – Facing Holocaust Denial and The Duty to Historical Truth 06:05 – The Rise of Antisemitism on the Political Left  09:08 – Can Antisemitism be "Mild"? (Mel Gibson and Kingsley Amis) 11:10 – Why Monotheism Struggles with Judaism 13:12 – The Dreyfus Affair and The Origin of the "Intellectual"15:09 – Why Bigots Fear the "Tormenting Idea of Skepticism" 16:48 – Marks, Freud, and Einstein: The Three Enemies of Fascism 19:19 – Leo Strauss and The Meaning of the "Chosen People" 22:36 – Conclusion: Antisemitism as the Enemy of Civilization Christopher Hitchens, a prolific author and polemicist, was renowned for his defense of free speech and his critiques of religious dogma. This video is essential for students of political science, fans of "The Hitch," and anyone seeking to understand the complex intersections of religion, race, and identity in the 21st century.#ChristopherHitchens #Antisemitism #Zionism #History #PoliticalPhilosophy #TheHitch #FreeSpeech #HolocaustEducation #MorphingRealityOriginal: Christopher Hitchens delivers the Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture at UCLA  Not my usual content format again, but I think this eloquence was worth passing on to all of you.

      <title>Christopher Hitchens -  [2007] - In Seattle discussing 'god is Not Great'</title>
      <description>June 7, 2007.Found a better quality one that wasn't on youtube.Christopher Hitchens is widely-published polemicist and frequent radio and TV commentator and contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a visiting professor of liberal studies at the New School. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris's recent bestseller, The End of Faith, Hitchens makes a case against religion in God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. With a close reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which he believes religion is a cause of dangerous sexual repression and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos, and frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason.

      <title>Christopher Hitchens QandA</title>
      <description>Author and journalist Christopher Hitchens takes questions from audience during his March 3, 2010, Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture at UCLA. The lecture was presented by the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations, the Daniel Pearl Foundation and the Yitzhak Rabin Hillel Center for Jewish Life at UCLA.A well-known commentator on contemporary thought, politics and culture, Hitchens has written more than a dozen books and corresponded from more than 60 countries. He has contributed regularly to the Atlantic, Slate, Vanity Fair, the New York Review of Books, the London Review of Books, Washington Post Book World, the Nation, the National Review and the New Left Review, among other media outlets. Honored frequently for his reporting and the literary quality of his prose, Hitchens received a National Magazine Award in 2007 and was a finalist for a 2007 National Book Award. He appears frequently on radio and television broadcasts.BACKGROUND:Daniel Pearl was a prominent Wall Street Journal reporter and the paper's South Asia bureau chief when he was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan in early 2002. Pearl's father, Judea Pearl, a computer science professor at UCLA, and his family established the Daniel Pearl Foundation to promote and continue Daniel's mission of fostering cross-cultural understanding throughout the world. The lecture series, established at UCLA in 2002, features scholars, journalists and policymakers who have contributed original analyses or constructive approaches to problems of international concern.Previous presenters of the Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture have included Anderson Cooper, David Brooks, Ted Koppel, Larry King, Jeff Greenfield, Daniel Schorr and Thomas Friedman. In 2006, a parallel lecture series was established at Stanford University, which has featured Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Philip Zimbardo, Bernard-Henri Lévy and Christiane Amanpour.</description>

      <title>Christopher Hitchens - [2007] - 'No Laughing Matter' with Martin Amis</title>
      <description>February 1, 2007.Martin Amis discussed the mild anti-semitism of his own father, and gave his thoughts on Israel. He read from Saul Bellow's book on Israel, and suggests that there is a great deal of anxiety among Jews about the future of Israel.Christopher Hitchens, who only discovered he was Jewish in 1989, talked about the place of Judaism in history: about Voltaire, suspicion, Israel, and the Jewish diaspora. Martin Amis then discussed the Jewish concept of manhood, before going on to contemplate the effect of 9/11 on the Jewish community. Hitchens then touched on some moments that betray a prejudice against Jews that still lingers even after the Holocaust, including the claims made in America in 1989 that Jewish doctors were deliberately injecting black babies with Aids. He suggest that pejudice against Jews is different from other kinds, because it takes a pseudo-intellectual, as opposed to superficial and ignorant form. Amis then seeked to define the actual concept of anti-semitism, before Hitchens considered the perception of Jews as masters of finance.Credit to: https://old.intelligencesquared.com/talks/no-laughing-matter-martin-amis-in-conversation-with-christopher-hitchens</description>

      <title>Christopher Hitchens vs. David Berlinski | Does Atheism Poison Everything? Debate</title>
      <description>In front of a sold-out crowd of 1,200 in Birmingham, Alabama, Christopher Hitchens, famed atheist and author of "God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything," debates Dr. David Berlinski, Paris mathematician and author of "The Devil's Delusion: Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions."Hitchens and others of the New Atheism movement have called for the annihilation of religion in order to establish a purely secular society. Berlinski, who describes himself as a secular Jew and an agnostic takes the position that a society absent religious influence is not the kind of place where most of us would want to live.So the question stands: Is a purely secular society preferable to a religious one? Ultimately, this is a question of importance to everyone. Whether a given society is with or without a religious influence affects people of all persuasions, not just Christians and atheists.Free study guide at http://fixed-point.org/</description>

      <title>Christopher Hitchens: The Tyranny of Censorship</title>
      <description>No one defended freedom of speech quite like Christopher Hitchens. Often referring to himself as a "First Amendment absolutist", Hitchens eloquently defends man's natural right to free expression and debate as being less about what you are able to SAY than it is what you are allowed to HEAR. This introductory excerpt is a brilliant reminder as to the impotence of open debate and dialogue - a topic that matters today more than ever. RIPRESIST CENSORSHIP</description>

      <title>Christopher Hitchens - 'Islamophobia' and the curtailing of free speech</title>
      <description>Two parts to this - firstly, Hitchens warning about 'Islamophobia' used by those in power as an excuse to erode and curtail free speech - includes updated references. Looking at what has recently happened in Canada and announced in the UK, it appears Hitchens was a better prophet than any offered by religious cults.  Secondly,  Snippets from  Hitchens and friends defending free speech and the right to offend.</description>
