    then google it. mr. klein has been publicly feuding with hasan for months. people here are broadly familiar with that. you pushing the glasses up on your nose and saying, “um, actually, if events aren’t mentioned in the article from fox news, then they didn’t happen,” is asinine. no investigation, no right to speak

        Ethan formerly hosted a podcast with Hasan and they had a falling out over Israel. Ethan is now regularly scouring the subreddit of Destiny, another even more unhinged Zionist streamer. This is relevant because Destiny’s community is particularly focused and organized around deplatforming Hasan. They have Discords where they prepare copy to engage in mass emailing/call campaigns to get Hasan negative press and lost platform space. So this article is part of a larger pattern in which Hasan is suddenly coming under a lot of scrutiny in relation to his takes on Israel. It’s relevant because Zionists have organizational structures dedicated to this and the existence of this article is likely a result of said structures.
