    You asked if he was trying to defend Netanyahu.

    I literally quoted him calling Netanyahu a war criminal. At the beginning of the interview you apparently didn’t read.

    And now you’re doubling down on it? Really?

      You asked if he was trying to defend Netanyahu.

      Mehdi Hasan: So why have you called Biden and Netanyahu war criminals?

      Why keep raising this question? Why not focus on Putin alone? Why does Hasan need to inject Biden into this conversation?

      And now you’re doubling down on it?

      I’m asking questions. You don’t seem comfortable thinking about the answers?

        Irrelevant. You asked if he was trying to defend Netanyahu and he literally called him a war criminal at the top.

        If you had read the interview, you would have known that. So either you didn’t read it or you were being dishonest.

          Irrelevant.

          That’s what Mehdi Hasan is asserting, which is weird when you consider how Netanyahu and Putin are allies.

          Why keep putting up this defense of Netanyahu if you’re so focused on getting Jill to denounce Putin? Why does Israel become this backdoor by which you can tacitly trade weapons and fossil fuels internationally?

          If you had read the interview, you would have known that.

          Have you read the interview? You don’t seem to want to acknowledge anything Hasan has actually said.
