I don’t understand why suddenly so many people on the left are accusing Hasan of being a zionist. Is it because he’s on the news all the time so he faces more scrutiny for being more famous? Is Finkelstein also a zionist? Is Hamas a zionist organisation for publicly supporting a 2 state solution?

I understand that people criticise his moves in electoral politics but the accusations of him being a zionist are a recent development.

With these standards most Palestinians would even be considered zionist because they usually lean very pragmatic in their political demands.

    Most Palestinians wouldn't be arms in arms with Brad Lander.

    Is he arms in arms with Brad Lander? Did he even endorse the guy? I think he’s naive in thinking he can change the democratic party through their official channels and also he’s naive for thinking that you can just overlook someone’s recent past if their platform is progressive enough but it’s pretty clear that Hasan is genuinely trying to influence politics to stop the genocide.

    It’s good to scrutinise him as he’s a big figure representing leftist politics but scrutinise him on endorsing Lander if he actually did that, rather than vagueposting about him being a zionist because he did an interview with an israeli newspaper in which he says that zionism needs to be treated the same way as nazism.
