I'm heartbroken. Mehdi Hasan is not a fan & believes many people to include governments disagree with me (actually not me but the data & my research) while admitting & showing he is not a military strategist or knows how any war works. Oh & dropping of the nuclear bombs in WWII…

'Why are we dismissing Ben-Gvir? We're going to ignore the national security minister of Israel? Why would I do that? Because it's convenient for you?'

A lively exchange between me & Jamie Weinstein on his The Dispatch podcast as part of our long Gaza debate:

What Israel is saying

Debating the Israel-Hamas War | Interview: Mehdi Hasan youtu.be/YzpFBPwka0s?si… via YouTube

Jamie Weinstein and Mehdi Hasan had a lively discussion. It’s good to see people crossing divides to chat.

This episode hurt my head. I'd never paid any attention to Hasan, so I wasn't expecting the tsunami of false equivalencies, strawman nonsense, and straight-up propaganda I heard. The guy's a mess.

Text I got this afternoon from Jason Zengerle who I talked to in 2021 for his forthcoming book on Tucker Carlson and the state of the conservative movement.

It’s insane that the media is focusing on Israel decision making and conduct when it is already clear that Israel agreed to US terms for a ceasefire, but it is Hamas that keeps on rejecting it

What else is there to say?

Reality Check: Israel/Jew haters left and right are using the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust as an opportunity to go after world’s only Jewish state. Check their timelines. Very little sympathy was expressed — if any — after Oct. 7. They were waiting to pounce.

Is there any living US president who Mehdi Hasan doesn't think is a war criminal?

Hasan walked himself into this corner, and he can't escape.

Mehdi Hasan has got himself into a position where he has no choice but to say that the idea the Allies committed 'genocide' in defeating Hitler is a 'good question'. Also alludes to the old conspiracy theory that the atomic bombs were to impress Stalin, rather than defeat Japan.

Wow
