    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?

          Dude, you said he didn’t agree with her when he literally agreed with her.

          Stop lying.

          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

                  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 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.

      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.

        That’s all you need to read.

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