Hasan has since said he was wrong on that point, and has since retracted said opinion and instead argued for the sovereignty of Ukraine as any other nation state, including Palestine. He reiterates this at least on a weekly basis to correct people like you that show up in the chat of his Twitch channel.
The fact that you're using this example as a way to discredit Hasan however is demonstrative of how emotional you're approaching this situation and how little you've done your own research to double check your views over time.
If you're talking about the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion, then the jury's still out on exactly what happened. Neither Israel, Hamas, nor the PIJ have provided visual evidence of what may have caused the hospital explosion. We won't know what happened unless an independent organization like the UN can go there (and be safe to do their investigation, although Israel has broken this accord many times now). It also appears that the main missile people claim caused the hospital explosion has been debunked.
Have you asked Hasan recently what he thinks on the matter: to double check and/or correct your views? Do you acknowledge that early on in the Gaza War, things were messy, and what Hasan and other might have believed at one time could have changed as new evidence presents itself? Does your world view allow for progress, or are you a moral conservative that lives in some crystallisation of the past?
Because he has to protect himself and his community on an increasingly frequent basis due to him and his community being in the minority, and when it comes to people like you espousing caricatures and false perceptions of their opinions on the matter. Are you of a minority? Which one? Do you have your life exposed to the broader public on a daily basis, and are forced to stand your ground multiple times a day?
Are you referring to when Frogan and her Arabic friends did a tier list of who can say the word "Habibi" (Arabic for "my love") or not? And if they qualify, they get a "Habibi" pass? A concept called racial passing where members of a certain race wished to be seen as belonging to a different race, and to obtain that race's "pass"? And how they called the lowest tier "Sabra", in relation to the Israeli hummus company?
Sabra isn't the best hummus for starters. Some people refer to it as the McDonald's of hummus, where there are many better alternatives. The name Sabra refers to the Sabra and Shatila massacre in which IDF-backed forces killed 1-4k Palestinians and Lebanese people's. Many people and organizations have chosen to boycott Sabra because the company's holding company directly supports the IDF's military. I think it's fair to call the lowest tier of person to receive a Habibi pass Sabra because said company in part funds a genocide. This is akin to calling that person a Nazi.
Have you watched Ethan's content? Have you seen Ethan dismiss Hasan's requests to talk about their issues in real time? Because all Ethan does is try to clip Hasan out of context so he can get people less involved in the context of the situation to agree with him and come to his side.
Yeah Ethan's main video has been debunked.
If you did, you'd already have all of the answer to my above questions. But you retain old news because you don't keep us with Hasan's content, and likely insulate yourself in Ethan's echo chamber.
Every time Ethan has called Hasan out of asked Hasan to watch the video, Hasan has said that he'd be willing to do a live debate and get the facts straight. Ethan every time has been a coward and refused to talk to Hasan live. Oh, and Hasan does debate. All Ethan does is shrivel up in his bubble and hide.
No :)
