Ben is not correct about everything. However, he is articulate, quick witted, and worst of all for them: not nasty. Not nasty like someone like Milo can get. That is why he gets the hatred. He can easily make a leftist look foolish while being kinda polite about it at times.
He just was on a podcast with Sam Harris, I wanna find it.

“God’s road map requires the Jews to kill those who seek to kill them.” Since Arabs universally “value murder,” I can’t see how this is anything other than a philosophical justification of genocide. Shapiro has said that Arab nefariousness could be stopped without resorting to genocide, and is offended by anyone who tries to invoke the g-word to describe his beliefs. But since he has said (1) that Arabs are inherently murderous and bent on destroying Israel and (2) God permits Jews to kill those who seek to kill them, it’s hard to see how he could disagree with anyone who did advocate genocide, except on pragmatic grounds.
I mean, there seemed to be more valid criticisms in there, some that I actually need to evaluate and look into and shit when I have more time, but that opening criticism is total bullshit. When a violent activist groups behavior causes a university to have to spend several hundred thousand dollars on security for an event, I actually applaud Ben Shapiro for going off on them like that.

Okay, so they twisted shit he said to make it seem like he was pro genocide. I get it. That's kinda silly. The shit about God and Jews is him talking about shit from scripture or whatever you wanna call it. He is not pro genocide. Anyone who has listened to more than a few sound bites from the guy would know it.

He's a savage jew.
Joking aside I'm not terribly familiar with him. From what little I've seen though he seems more grounded and less bombastic than a lot of other politlcal commentators/youtubers and does come across as fairly articulate. Meaning he at least attempts to make cogent arguments rather than just try to be controversial/loud for the sake of attention.
His problem, which I suppose is a problem for probably all of these commentators who have to talk about things for several hours a day for money, is that he oftentimes wades into a topic he clearly has little to no actual understanding of. He recently did this with Net Neutrality and made some hilariously bad points, so bad that a tech based youtuber who actually has a deep understanding about the internet and how it works and who is usually pretty apolitical did a point by point retort of his points and it became pretty clear Shapiro just didn't know what he was talking about.

Nothing was twisted Surt, learn to apply logic.If arabs are inherently muederers and Jews have a divine duty to kill all that would kill all who seek to kill then, what would be the logical course of action?
It's the opposite of logic to say he is pro genocide. They didn't even provide any real context to the things he said.
An article claiming the guy is pro genocide is utter nonsense.

I don't doubt he has big f*ck ups like that. Those are better to highlight than trying to say he is pro genocide.

And yes, calling for a mass exodus of a race which you claim to be universally evil, murderous, and obligated by divine powers to be victims of genocide is completely and totally Hitler-Esque.

Least he admits that.
No, but I genuinely believe that Ben would dismantle his positions in an actual debate.
I would love to see Jon Stewart take this guy down a notch though.
