Yoram Hazony is aghast: "I couldnt believe it. It was wall to wall: everyone had some scheme to make sure that this illegitimate vote was suppressed. Millions of people voted, but self-determination is not a value any more because liberalism is more important." #Brexit https://t.co/v4gPjNKNlU— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 10, 2017

Yoram Hazony: "Israel is rock solid because of its relative homogeneity and because the great majority of its citizens are Jews." #Nationalism https://t.co/oCf71mLCFN— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 10, 2017
Yoram Hazony: "We today don't understand where our freedoms come from." https://t.co/VXtNl0r7eK— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 10, 2017
Yoram Hazony: "Just about everyone in the world wants to be a liberal today. I don't." https://t.co/VXtNl0r7eK— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 10, 2017
Yoram Hazony: "We simply can't think straight about the political world if we think it is as described by the argument between Locke and Hobbes and Rousseau. If you want to call it Liberalism feel free, but it is immensely, unbelievably destructive. We have to stop it." https://t.co/Nlwbc9xedc— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 10, 2017

Yoram Hazony: "The goal should be to redraw the borders of the Middle East according to national and religious boundaries to prevent border conflagrations unfolding into genocide." https://t.co/VXtNl0r7eK— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 10, 2017
Yoram Hazony: "The French and the British wanted multi-national states where they could more easily rule." #SykesPicot #nationalism https://t.co/nKAq0fc5AP— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 10, 2017

The Virtue of Nationalism by Yoram Hazony
When are we going to have an urgent philosophical discussion on whether politics and religion are in fact inseparable? Perhaps @yhazony will advise. https://t.co/Kh5Z6Mlju2— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
Jews didn't keep Shabbat, Shabbat kept the Jews. At Shabbat, Jews should talk about how politics would look like if it is not based only on liberalism. The West is going wrong because religious people are not answering the question: who is the religious response to John Rawls? https://t.co/12212SZkA8— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
Yoram Hazony (who has nine children): " ... a serious organised effort to rethink Western civilisation on the basis of a neo-Biblical model ... a new religious model ... We are not going to go back to the Middle Ages, we are going to have to go forward." https://t.co/Qy0HaqtzmX— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
Yoram Hazony on #nationalism: "We should keep our traditions." https://t.co/Qy0HaqtzmX— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
Yoram Hazony on #nationalism: "The [political and moral] model is going to have to be different because we know what we have is failing." https://t.co/PFN3A1vBqC— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
Yoram Hazony on #nationalism: "When are we going to do this [ie change the failing political model of liberal democracy]? All we know is we don't have any choice. We have to do this at a personal and national level and trust in God." #emunah #bitachon https://t.co/oXwNQGODlw— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
Yoram Hazony: "If we do the right thing [about #nationalism] God will help us, including those who don't believe in Him. Israel has proved that." https://t.co/L8MiChdB3D— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
George Weigel: "I don't mean to instrumentalise religion, but for most human beings, weak and prone to doing bad stuff as we are, the idea that God wants me to behave this way is a shorter route to decency than Aristotle's ethics." #theocracy #nationalism https://t.co/12212SZkA8— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
There are 6 Catholics and 3 Jews in the US Supreme Court, but no Protestants. https://t.co/rRs5cNCUv4— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
"Do we not have anything to learn from Eastern traditions? Should we not be learning from Buddhism and Hinduism to see if they have anything in common with us than Jihdaism?" https://t.co/iojLTD57th— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
"Israel is a tiny country. We have our borders. We have no territorial expansionist ideas. We don't want to convert anybody to Judaism." https://t.co/M0VJFQCQU0— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
George Weigel: "That we have 6 Catholics and 3 Jews in the SCOTUS is an example of successful assimilation. I speak with a certain certainty that 2 of the Catholics are only vestigial in their Catholicism. There is a chemical trace if you look very hard." https://t.co/iojLTD57th— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
George Weigel: "I don't see any indication that Justices Breyer, Ginsberg or Kagan are other than committed to the individualist project which all three of them endorse." https://t.co/8tvYb6OM2R— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
"The preaching in the Catholic Church is frankly abysmal. At its best, it's a kind of high moral exhortation, but the idea that the role of the preacher is to break open the Biblical text to explicate it so it is part of the way we see the world is not a world developed talent." https://t.co/YpKmDsQQVU— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
Yoram Hazony:— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
"We Jews are absolutely abysmal at talking to the world about the things that we Jews believe. How many times can we mention Rabbi Sacks [as a populariser of Judaism] in one evening? " https://t.co/12212SZkA8
'The ideal for a Jew should be that Jerusalem should become a place to which all nations of the world turn, and they say "Come, let's go to hear what God and the Jews have to say," It is the Jewish ideal. We made the desert bloom, let's make the intellectual desert bloom.' https://t.co/N3lONCe8ts— Claire Khaw (@MinimumSt8) December 11, 2017
