More dodging. Stop responding to me, these deflections are as predictable as they are pathetic. You cannot engage at this level because you have reduced yourself to a simpleminded activist without the capacity for critical thought, accept it and just move on. And stop pretending that this was your excuse to cower from a challenging conversation, you've been dodging me from far before I've raised these specific criticisms towards you (attached video 1). 1. It beggars belief that you think it unfair for me to accuse you of being a "mask-on radical Islamist" when you are giving a free pass to a man who mask-off defends radical Islamists. You have accused people of Islamophobia for far, far less than what people have accused Hasan of anti-Semitism. Not every accusation of you supporting terrorism has to come from a place of bigotry, especially when you refuse to call out people who you are promoting on your own programs who openly support terrorist attacks against the West. You have remained silent on this claim, you refuse to engage with it. People see that, and it's fair for them to draw assumptions about you when you allow these types of narratives to pass by you without criticism or mention. 2. It's funny that you claim I had my ass "handed to me" by Norman Finkelstein, then back that up by linking to a video of him...calling me silly names. You realize he later admitted to Briahna Joy Gray (attached video 2) and Marc Lamont Hill (attached video 3) that he had no intention of ever approaching that debate in good faith, yes? His whole idea was to just go in and act like a baffoon the entire time because he thought it would be funny. It speaks highly to your intellectual honesty that you consider it to be an impressive performance when he himself admits to acting like a clown; I suppose it's emblematic of how much of a joke you are when it comes to taking the Israel/Palestine conflict seriously, though. Funnily enough, there's actually only a few major factual disagreements we had, since Finkelstein spent the majority of the time screaming at me and calling me names. One of them had to do with the "plausibility standard" that the ICJ uses to initially hear a case brought before the court. (attached video 4)

I've been permanently banned from Twitch for about 3 years because I said a particular group of militant trans-activists online were "inbred" and that they don't represent the average trans person. The CEO, Daniel Clancy, is personal friends with hasanabi though, and the two of them are pretty motivated to keep me banned from the site. The last time I applied for an unban, the Trust and Safety actually granted it and unbanned my account, but Hasan saw I was unbanned, started nervously texting/messaging Clancy, and then Clancy manually rebanned me from the website lol. Authoritarian types can only exist in echo chambers because they cannot stand to be critically confronted, ever. It's why hasanabi avoids any challenging interviews, and why the types like Mehdi Hasan will avoid answering actually critical questions from people with the knowledge to question them.

Back in 2020, my community hosted the largest canvassing operation in the state of Georgia over multiple weekends to go out and doorknock for Ossof and Warnock. This is how Hasan felt about it, back before there was any clout in being supportive of either candidate:

Just a reminder that Hasan's editor is posting cryptic threats like this against Jon Ossoff while members of Hasan's audience have literally gotten arrested for making phone calls and death threats to the spouses of sitting US Senators after hearing hasanabi gloat about how effective the behavior is.

Not only was Finkelstein wrong on this point, this point was missed by so many laymen that the recently retired President of the ICJ, Joan Donoghue (who presided over the case) had to come out and make a public statement due to so many members of the media spreading misinformation about the case's strength at the initial proceedings. (attached video 1) I guess that Wikipedia education is paying off for me, if I was able to get ahead of most members of the media on that talking point! Congratulations for chatting with Olmert, though, he's a friendly guy! I would know, since I've also interviewed him! (attached picture) I've also interviewed Yossi Belin (initiator and major architect of the Oslo Accords) and Shlomo Ben-Ami (Israeli diplomat who participated in the Camp David Summit). (attached pictures) This is among numerous others in the Israeli Knesset and the West Bank. I'm sorry that I've mispronounced names, though, I guess that kind of deligitimizes every other opinion I have on the conflict..? Because I use Wikipedia? Shouldn't that make it even harder to combat the claims I've made, though? What does it say for your side if I've been able to dismantle every single talking point you have while all you can do is accuse me of using "wikipedia"? Shouldn't Norm Finkelstein have known more about the ICJ case, maybe? Maybe they uploaded the entire thing to Wikipedia, I guess. It's strange to me that a man willing to go head-to-head with people like Tommy Robinson and the leader of the AFD would be so frightened by a man who he's accusing of only reading Wikipedia.

3. To be clear, I am accusing you of being a mask-on Islamist because you are sweeping for someone who openly and outwardly sweeps for Islamist entities like Hamas (attached video 1 and 2) and openly praises and supports Hezbollah (attached video 3) and Ansar Allah (attached video 4). I don't know what this has to do with racism or Islamophobia. Is it possible to ever criticize someone who's Muslim for supporting Islamist entities? Or are you weaponizing your identity the same way you accuse Jews of weaponizing Israel and Zionism? Hmm... I notice that you immediately pivot to Hasan's defense of China or Mao...but why? I didn't really mention those much, I was specifically referring to his open support for terrorist attacks in the United States and broad against members of the West. I am inviting you to point to which of these clips is "out of context", but I know you would much rather continue to spam responses to the easier to explain "America deserved 9/11" video over and over and over again. Coward.

4. "Caught" on camera? I was giving a 3 hour speech/Q&A to a bunch of fans when I was in Israel, and one of the questions had to do with why the IDF looked so horrible to the world. My response was a bit tongue-in-cheek due to the recent stories about IDF soldiers wearing dresses. Do you seriously think I am wishing them to commit horrendous war crimes and then cover it by...not recording it on their phones? Man, you want to talk about "that was an edgy joke" and "out of context" for Hasan, but claim you can verify that I am encouraging IDF soldiers to cover up war crimes (dressing up in people's clothes is not a war crime, btw, even if it's gross) because of a 30 second cut that went viral online? Sure, maybe you've never made those jokes before, but do you seriously want to go bar-for-bar to see who's said more crazy stuff in the past? Didn't you claim that non-Muslims are "human beings who live their lives as animals," that us poor "Kaffar" have "an illness...a disease of the human mind" because we're not Muslims? That we are "a people of no intelligence" and "no morality"? That we are simply "cattle"? (attached video 1) What am I supposed to believe, when the man who said this years ago, today refuses to hold to account pals that he brings on his shows who openly preach how righteous and amazing terrorist groups are when they kill people in the West? 5. "Hear all sorts of things"...? I'm flattered so many members of the media talk about me behind the scenes, I guess? If you want to talk about "dodgy claims", my court filings are all public. I'm sure you and everyone else whose made claims about my case will be glad to walk them back once it's dismissed. If you want to talk about "dodgy" behavior, though, how about your buddy Hasan, who claimed to share nudes from women with unverified ages that he solicited on his Twitch streams to all of his colleagues, repeatedly? (attached videos 2 and 3) He's defended the behavior since he was in college and on TYT, by the way. (attached video 4) Strange that "dodgy" behavior like that doesn't keep you from sweeping for all of his behavior.
