    Not bad but Hasan is being too soft here. All of this is basic British soft-left stuff which we have in overwhelming abundance to be quite honest. He should be going further given that even the right wing audience of this channel is to the left of the average american liberal.

    Only 39% of tory voters support Israel and only 9% of Labour voters support Israel. I suspect this is very different compared to US voters.

    Man should have gone way harder to present an actually novel leftist case to a receptive audience.

      to be fair to the rich guy that i don’t even like (that’s a hell of an opening), he is american, so he’s probably operating on american assumptions

        Yeah I mean, he’s probably not even aware that JC is being attacked for refusing to condemn Hamas which is probably a good barometer for how different it is here. The americans would have an apoplectic fit over that whereas here it’s all rather meh, the potential for going harder is there, honestly the main barrier is actually how some of Hasan’s audience might react rather than the BBC’s.

          fair
          was kinda an eye-opener for me when i became more online in the pandemic that “apolitical” in america meant “solid dem voter” as opposed to “i don’t vote because everyone running is a dickhead” like it is here

      Hasan started out by by commending BBC for being objective in some of their recent coverage that they’re being criticized for by Zionists and their allies, maybe he was trying to reward that
