He’s telling Jill what she said about Netanyahu, but he doesn’t seem to agree. He keeps doubling back and insisting she needs to condemn Putin (which she then does) and using that as a shield for Netanyahu in follow-up.
Jill Stein: Yeah. Well, let me say this. We are sponsoring that war. We are sponsoring Netanyahu. He is our dog in this fight. That is why we have a responsibility to pull him back.
Mehdi Hasan: No disagreement from me at all.
Jesus, why are you lying about this when everyone can read the interview?
Hasan then pivoted to complaining about Jill calling Biden and Netanyahu criminals, while asserting our sponsorship of Israel isn’t relevant to the question of war criminality.
Mehdi Hasan: So you called Netanyahu one, which I think he is.
Jill Stein: Yeah. Well, let me say this. We are sponsoring that war. We are sponsoring Netanyahu. He is our dog in this fight. That is why we have a responsibility to pull him back.
Mehdi Hasan: No disagreement from me at all. It still doesn’t answer my question. Whether we sponsor them or not is irrelevant.
If we apply equal standards to both of them, then Hasan didn’t call Netanyahu a war criminal and Stein didn’t call Putin a war criminal. They both do this weird word dance around the topic.
Mehdi Hasan: So you called Netanyahu one, which I think he is.
That’s all you need to read. If you are unable to read that one simple sentence, you are too stupid to even have a real conversation here. If you refuse to read that one simple sentence, then you are intentionally trying not to have a real conversation here.

He isn’t calling Netanyahu a war criminal in this statement. In fact, he follows up with…
So I guess our sponsorship of Netanyahu doesn’t matter? Why not? Hasan just leaves that in the wind, so he can pivot back and complain
Why keep going back to Biden and Netanyahu? Why keep trying to shield them from Jill’s accusations?
Dude, you said he didn’t agree with her when he literally agreed with her.
Stop lying.
You don’t seem to like Hasan’s own statements being quoted back at you.
This is really pathetic.
Is now a bad time to point out that Netanyahu and Putin are allies?
Weird that Hasan would work so hard to defend Netanyahu.
Not relevant. You lied.
I bet there are reading comprehension help videos on YouTube
By your same logic, Stein didn’t call Putin a war criminal
She agreed that he was a criminal when asked.
Hasan then pivoted to complaining about Jill calling Biden and Netanyahu criminals, while asserting our sponsorship of Israel isn’t relevant to the question of war criminality.
He literally said he didn’t disagree that Netanyahu is a war criminal. This is your own logic you are arguing with. Absolutely amazing
He did not.
Do yourself a favor
It’s really amazing that they’re trying so hard to argue that we aren’t seeing what’s right in front of our eyes.
That’s what I’m seeing.
If we apply equal standards to both of them, then Hasan didn’t call Netanyahu a war criminal and Stein didn’t call Putin a war criminal. They both do this weird word dance around the topic.
They’re both really frustrating here.
Sorry, I know better than to engage with you. Better luck next time

The fact that you think this tells me you’re utterly insincere.
