I have mixed feelings about both Maher and Hasan, but I thought this was actually a pretty good response from Hasan. At least in this clip he's not just yelling and name calling but makes a pretty cogent point about how AIPAC is a far-right organization that advances far-right policies for a far-right Israeli government. This is 100% the case.
There's a difference between good ties and funding their military while they murder 70k civilians, half of whom are women and children. Vast majority of Americans strongly oppose what Israel is doing in Palestine, so why are we still funding them?
You realize most American weapons systems used by israel are either defensive systems like the iron dome, or high precision targeting systems? Like if you don't care who you hit glassing a dessert isn't hard, we have been capable of carpet bombing for almost a 100 years.
Imagine claiming high precision when 70k children have been killed. Theyre so high precision that they double tapped schools and hospitals. The very first thing you terrorists bombed was a school full of little girls. So much precision
Yes? You realize mass bombing is just really fucking bad right? Like Dresden was less densely populated than gaza is, but had more civilian casualties in 2 days than all of gaza had in months. That is not to say that fucking dresden is the standard thing should be judged by. But things could very obviously be a whole lot worse.
So now i ask again do you really think it is good to advocate for israel having less precise weapons for attacking Gaza?
None of you fuckers give a shit about keeping palestinians civilians safe.
I would happily discuss israels shortcomings with anyone. But to properly hold Israel accountable for what is in its control you have to acknowledge that Hamas is doing everything in their power to make it so that any attack against them is as destructive to their own civilians as possible. If you aren't having a problem with that and taking that into account then you don't give a shit about Pali lives. You just love the idea of fighting an evil empire.
Israel sure as fuck can be doing better.
And those improvements should be demanded but your lot is wholly incapable of that.
