      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

            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.

            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 Weevil for you. I’ve never seen a single good argument made from them and their inability to ever admit being wrong is sad.

                Perhaps it’s time for them to remove the undergarments from their head.

      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.
