LBC's Lewis Goodall goes on an unhinged tirade in which he conflates Palestinians with ISIS and attempts to argue that discrimination against the LGBT community is somehow worse than those same people being bombed and starved to death. 🥴
@lewis_goodall Lewis. I appreciate the reply. I have watched the full interview. I think that Israel should be judged entirely by its actions, the comparisons to Nazi Germany are entirely warranted and that Hasan is on the right side of history here. I appreciate you giving him the platform.
Goodall’s flailing whataboutism here is extremely damning. You can see why Piker was excluded from Britain here, because he is an extremely effective messenger for a message the establishment wants to suppress…

In 1981, the PLO laid down its arms in Lebanon, scrupulously upheld a ceasefire for nearly a year, and offered to recognize Israel via a two-state settlement.
Israel responded with an unprovoked invasion, killing 15-20,000 Palestinians and Lebanese.
Kudos to @hasanthehun for managing to remain calm in front of an honestly unrecognizably and uncharacteristically angry @lewis_goodall as he goes through every single tired pro-Israel talking point, to the point of low-key justifying the UK ban, and tbh putting words in his mouth
Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
You are a shameless liar: Polanski is calling for a list of British citizens who have fought in a probable genocide & possibly committed war crimes & other atrocities to be compiled. This is what any civilised lawful country should do
If someone tells you, to yr face, that yr either crooked or stupid , the appropriate response is to put up a fight. The press has been struggling with this for over ten years now and still hasn’t figured out that in that moment to tell him to get f****d
WOW -- Trump crashes out and cuts his interview with Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged
"You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her."
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads.
‘You would compare what’s happening in Gaza to the Holocaust?’
@Lewis_Goodall rejects Hasan Piker's ‘crass and offensive’ comments comparing Jews to Nazis.
Israel kills a baby and the response I get is “accidents happen in war”. Israel has killed over 1,500 -yes one thousand five hundred- babies under one year old since 7/10.
If Sam Harris had to debate Rashid Khalidi or Norman Finkelstein he would be crushed so completely that nobody would ever listen to what he has to say again, which is why he has to duck all debate and claim it's because his opponents are too irrational to talk to.
Adam Johnson, author of How to Sell a Genocide says in order to carry out a genocide, the US, Israel, and liberal media “needed to make a ceasefire with Hamas politically toxic… politically ‘unserious.’”
To achieve that, he explains, “it became so central [that Hamas and Palestinian resistance] are removed from history. And their grievances are [portrayed as] not secular or political but as instead driven entirely by hatred of Jews.”
“Then a ceasefire becomes not only impossible, it becomes immoral… and then genocide was inevitable.”

@Mr_Andrew_Fox The Palestinians did lay down their arms in 2018 when protesting peacefully during the Great March of Return, and they were met with sniper fire.
215 unarmed protestors were sniped to death, including 50 children, 3 medics, 5 journalists, and half a dozen disabled people.
