GREENBLATT:
What I really want is, whether it's social media influencers on Twitch and YouTube like Hasan Piker, or other kind of promoters of hate on YouTube and Tik Tok like Guy Christensen, or like you know these speakers at these graduations it just happened the other day at MIT, spreading blood libels about the Jewish people or the Jewish state.
It creates the conditions in which this kind of act is happening with increasing frequency. We've got to stop it once and for all. I hope the Trump administration will do just that.
Jonathan conflates Judaism with Zionism, "Jewish people or the Jewish state". He is lying when he says that anti-Zionists are attributing the actions of Israel with Judaism. Jonathan Greenblatt is doing the thing that he accuses others of doing.
Surely Hasan has to be seriously thinking about getting the fuck out of the US
I’ve been watching Hasan a lot lately since I moved to Europe. I like watching the Turkish man yell at hogs while he feeds me news highlights.
Hasan has said, repeatedly, on his streams that he doesn’t want to leave because “can’t tell me what to do, I’m stubborn, this is my home etc etc”. This may be a bit parasocial but the guy comes across to me as someone who hates changing his routine to the point where he’s putting himself in harms way.
It was really interesting watching his interview last night with Chris Hedges, because Chris straight up told him, “You know, they’re preparing to try and have you killed. It’s blood libel because they want your blood.” This is coming from a well seasoned investigative reporter who has lost a lot of journalist friends, if Hedges is saying Hasan should protect himself then I hope that Hasan listens.
Amazing interview BTW. There were several moments where Hedges sat Hasan down and laid out the ugly truth for him regarding Gaza and Hasan looked a bit shaken up. I think Hedges at one point said, “The reason the media is relaxing is because it’s too late, unless the famine is broken within the next few weeks- hundreds of thousands will die from starvation. Unless something radical happens soon- it’s inevitable. I have seen this before.”
I’m really hoping Hasan stops being stubborn and gets the fuck out of the US because he’s not only putting himself, but his entire family, at risk. While he’s not perfect I’d much rather him continue his work as a leftist entry point and propagandist than become a martyr.
The Chris Hedges interview is in my queue, I need to watch it now. Because Chris is right.
It’s so good
