‘Intellectual Dishonesty’: Dennis Prager Unloads On Richard Dawkins
Billy Hallowell, Oct. 2, 2013, The Blaze
The debate started when Dawkins, a scientist and activist who has inspired secularists around the world to rail against religion, was interviewed by CNN on Friday night, where he made negative remarks about the Bible.
“Not only should we not get our moral compass from religion, as a matter of fact we don’t,” Dawkins said. “We shouldn’t, because if you actually look at the bible or the Koran, and get your moral compass from there, it’s horrible — stoning people to death, stoning people for breaking the Sabbath.”

Dennis Prager: Penélope Cruz, Javier Bardem
 |
| Dennis Prager |
About 10 days ago, Penelope Cruz and her husband, Javier Bardem, signed a public letter in Spain along with prominent Spanish director Pedro Almodovar and other Spanish directors and actors accusing Israel of “genocide” and “extermination.”
Some excerpts (unofficial translation from the Spanish):
“There is no distance or neutrality that can be justified in the horror taking place in Gaza at this time. It is a war of occupation and extermination.”
“The West standing and allowing such genocide is shameless. I do not understand this barbarism, and considering the Jewish people’s background, this cruelty is even less comprehensible.”
“I want to clarify certain issues: Yes, my son was born in a Jewish hospital; I have close, dear friends who are Jewish. Because someone is a Jew does not mean he supports this massacre, just as being a Hebrew does not make you a Zionist, and being a Palestinian does not make you a Hamas terrorist. That is as absurd as saying that being German makes you a Nazi.”
After receiving some blowback, Cruz and Bardem released a statement as moronic and even more fatuous than their original statement.
Bardem: “My signature was solely meant as a plea for peace. Destruction and hatred only generate more hatred and destruction. While I was critical of the Israeli military response, I have great respect for the people of Israel and deep compassion for their losses. I am now being labeled by some as anti-Semitic, as is my wife — which is the antithesis of who we are as human beings. We detest anti-Semitism as much as we detest the horrible and painful consequences of war.
“I was raised to be against any act of violence.”
