      Citation needed podcast talked about the way how the ADL and adjacent orgs count antisemitism. the way they get inflated number is how they count jewish people feeling “uncomfortable” as antisemitism. (Ie, they count some random person seeing a palestinian flag in the street as antisemitism because it is uncomfortable and triggering)

      This kind of methodology has been questioned by progressive jews and even people within the organization as trivializing antisemitism, making it super obvious that it is a way to shut down critique of israel and weaken the accusations made by the organization in the long run.

        After Elon publicly shared Jewish media control conspiracies, he apologized and visited Israel. I think he even donated. That was enough for the ADL to forgive him and praise him for changing lol

          Adl also praised henry ford for being a big entrepreneur. It was later removed when people pointed out that ford propagated a certain book published by tsarist Russia

    My favorite part of Hasan’s streams is when he watches Hamas training videos and says, “I’m a real fanboy of this content”

    Classic Hasan

    Defending israel 101:

    1. Historical Jewish suffering occurred (european pogroms, holocaust, etc.)

    2. That was bad

    3. Therefore israel can go absolutely ape-shit and do anything they want, and if you disagree you hate jews

      Easiest way to defuse that: ask them if they believe Black folk should have the same right and leeway, and watch their face turn to chalk powder.

    Is this kind of thing actionable? Seems like an open and shut case of libel to me he could take them to the cleaners right?

      In the US you usually have to prove that the person was intentionally lying and that they were doing so to cause you harm. It's incredibly hard to prove in court

        This is true if you are a public figure (which Hasan is, so your statement is correct). The legal terminology used is "actual malice" (the threshold one must cross to prove it for public figures) vs "negligence" the threshold for private citizens.

        Note this doesn't mean people can just talk shit out their ass all day from a platform about even public figures, but the bar the public figure must meet to prove actual malice is significant. Personally, if I were the judge, the intent is met. I don't think the average judge would though. It would probably require multiple hit pieces with very specific repeated lies (not a lawyer, not an expert, just my opinion, etc.)

        For "normal" people who aren't gov officials, entertainers, business owners, etc. if these people doxx them and then smear them it's 100% actionable. Proving they were simply negligent is pretty easy to do in a case like this. I imagine a lawyer would point out that they purposely sought out clips out of context with intent to show the defendant as an "antisemite" which means they also saw the massive amount of footage of the defendant specifically and repeatedly stating they are not antisemitic and here are the reasons, A, B, C. It wouldn't take much to build a case to absolutely rip the faces off these dipshits because Hasan is careful in his speech. However, he doesn't have the benefit of this easier bar to clear like we would. And we don't have the benefit for bottomless pockets if we're targeted. Unfortunately since the pro-Palestine movement is mostly younger, less wealthy people, building some sort of take down team of lawyers to sue these agencies and individuals (preferably the latter, imo, these demons deserve to be destitute) is probably not happening anytime relatively soon. But perhaps some day....

      I think it would age well to the point context isn't needed, especially if it has the tweet using "terror fanboy"

    When you said “we should cleanse Bavaria of the Bavarian’s and make that the Jewish homeland instead”, did you mean that?
