jesus christ the arrogance of this man. what the fuck possessed him to get on this stage with people who wrote the books that his Wikipedia research is summarizing. this man couldn’t find israel on a map until a couple of days ago and thought Erdogan is the president of israel. and Norm just calls him on it over and over while continuously mispronouncing his name.
my favorite quote: “if Israel nuked Gaza and killed all 2 million people living there, I’m not sure it would count as genocide.”
bonus: Hasan’s coverage was so brutal that he rage quit his own stream 2 days in a row. he knows he got owned.
it backfired with anyone who actually watched it. twitter is flooded with clips of him owning himself and Finkelstein owning him. he did so poorly that he made Benny Morris somehow look more insane than he already obviously is. and he himself is trying desperately to keep his audience from actually watching it while malding about it publicly. literally if he’d just sat there and said absolutely nothing the entire time, he’d have done a much better job of letting Fridman launder the false equivalence between himself and these academics. but obviously he can’t shut the fuck up so here we are.
