    If he was using it to argue anti-Nazi points as he is arguing antizionist points here, literally yes, but I'm not sure that the comparison makes sense because I don't think Der Sturmer would print it, just as I don't think most of the other major Israeli newspapers would print this interview.

    I read the interview and it has a lot of silly Zionist editorializing, but I think Hasan correctly estimated that it would allow him to present his case, even to the incredulity of both the narratorial and interviewing voice. I don't think the fact that there would ve Zionist editorializing is a reason not to do it so, that's what most of their articles have anyway, what their audience is reading anyway, the main difference is that what most of their audience does not get from the paper most of the time is people giving simple, clear descriptions of why Israel is a fundamentally malignant project.

    he is going there, to be convinced by the right wingers, he is becoming more reactionary and not the otherway around

    he is becoming more reactionary

    how? He was always kind of a radlib but I don't really see a shift in his tone.

    So did a lot of self proclaimed leftists, it was clearly a tactical error but I don't see that as evidence of him becoming more reactionary. Platner's platform by itself wasn't more reactionary than AOC's or any other mediocre socdem candidate. It's not exactly the first time he glazed a bad candidate, he gets caught up in electoralist bullshit regularly.

    "uhh who's similar to the Neo Nazi SAer who did 4 tours in Afghanistan and Iraq? let me think of the first brown liberal I could remember"

    Fuck AOC for being a lib, fuck her for talking about "defensive weapons of israel", but she wasn't on the field bombing Afghan kids, she doesn't having Nazi tattoos on her, she's not even remotely comparable to Captain Swastika over here

    He is probably only going to be more reactionary, but it's because of the DNC, not fucking Haaretz. Why would Haaretz convince him of anything? They just gave the same dogwater talking points that he has been refuting for years.
