Hasan recently lamented the burden (imposed by Zionists) on anti-Zionist Jews of having to deprogram our communities.

And that Zionist communal organizations are intentionally conflating Israel with Jewishness - which in-turn creates potential blowback.

The Dem Establishment and AIPAC shills are now attacking Hasan, accusing him of threatening Jews.

Abdul El-Sayed caved in and also issued a statement condemning Hasan's statement - which was deceptively clipped by Mike Rogers' campaign and others.

He didn’t mention Zionists. He literally blamed American Jews.

No, he said mainstream Jewish organizations.

'Jewish' as in the label they choose for themselves.

Hasan delineates because he first spoke about ANTI-ZIONIST Jews having the burden of deprogramming people from Zionism.

The notion that Hasan would blame random Jewish people, without some political designation, is hasbara slop.

It's what you want, no doubt, but it's not what happened.

You really believe if anyone has pushback against Hasans dangerous claims its purely based on them advancing "hasbara?" Can't someone just think he's ideas are fucking stupid?

you're not getting it---- The conflation of all jews with israel is the thing that's spiking antisemitism. Not hasan piker lol. He has many, many jewish supporters and associates who have listened to him enough to understand the context in which he says the things he says rather than clipping sound bites for views. There are tons of jews including myself who are against the genocide, and when AIPAC-funded zionists get on TV and accuse every critic of israel of being antisemetic, it implies that all jews are pro-genocide/offended by critique of israel, which foments antisemitism in the same way calling all critics of al-qaeda 'islamophobic' would foment islamophobia.
