MOSCOW, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek and American intellectual David Horowitz debate the left-wing influence on global politics, the Israel-Palestine question, the future of Europe and the WikiLeaks controversy in the second episode of Julian Assange's "The World Tomorrow" on RT.

"In our most heated discussion, I bring together a battle-hardened US conservative intellectual and Europe's most famous conservative philosopher. I want to understand their respective views, but we always fall to fighting over Israel and Palestine," commented Assange on the tone of the second episode.
