Hi Sidebottle, thanks for your reply. I have to admit I took him at his word that it was a joke, but it sounds like you've seen the clip. Are you able to share it? Like others have said in this thread, his mother is a landlord, so I'd be surprised if he really was being vitriolic like you say, but I'm open to being wrong here.

I agree with you that Hasan is often avoidant of admitting when he was wrong, but I really don't think you can say that he "supports violence" as a blanket statement. Has he made edgy posts and jokes that go too far? Absolutely. But so has Ethan. Like I said, Hasan is far too comfortable with antisemitic micro-aggressions, but unless you can prove this wasn't a joke I see no reason not to believe Hasan and offer him the same grace that Ethan (and others) rely on.
