What's been reduced to a talking point here? Do you only post takes of people you 100% ideologically align with and who would those be?

Recently we even had Ali Abumanah, Rania Khalek and others celebrating the wins of milquetoast Liberal Zionists I wouldn't call allies to the Palestinians cause but I'm not going to stop posting their content either.

Mehdi is an opportunist Liberal who isn't pushing the overton window for sure but he does occasionally say some valid stuff. Takes like these calling out Jewish Exceptionalism in media reporting are still quite rare these days

    You're confusing me with someone else. I specifically said Mehdi Hasan in particular. This isn't about random twitter users

    Ali Abumanah and Rania Khalek aren't random Twitter users.

    My view is that posting a Mehdi Hasnake quote is no different than posting a BBC article if that makes any sense. Coincidentally Mehdi used to work for the BBC as well.

    Ali Abumanah and Rania Khalek

    Ali Abumanah is a real journalist who doesn't spread explicitly anti-Resistance and pro-genocide propaganda and therefore not comparable to this dirtbag.

    The twitter user comment was because you keep trying to expand the conversation beyond scope.

    I just don't understand what is so difficult about this.

    Don't worry I will stay out of your mentions now. Im tired

    IIRC Ali Abumanah celebrated Liberal Zionist Brad Lander winning in NYC. (Brad Lander invested millions of dollars into Elbit Systems.)

    And Rania Khalek praised Graham Platner...

    Of course they're both not Mehdi Hasnakes but the point is that discrediting valid points especially when nobody else is making them just because they also did some bad thing isn't really helping. Not to claim they're the same as Hasnake.

    Only Assal Rad, Alan MacLeod and Mehdi Hasan frequently make original relevant posts calling out media manipulation so there's really not that many options to pick from.

    There are users which I wouldn't post, such as Shahiel Ben Ephraim. A known Israeli agent trying to infiltrate the Palestine movement. But that's because Shahiel doesn't actually create any content worthy of posting. He just reposts other people's work with the "as an israeli this is rly bad!!" appended to it..
