If the context was "America kidnapped civilians" and someone said "I think what the Americans are doing is a good thing", then yes, that would paint a bad picture. And it was vague at first but after Hasan explained himself in the debate, it became clear that he was excusing the kidnappings.

Do you not think what they did was terrorism? Do you want to explain to the hostages that they were just overreacting and that their kidnappers actually aren't that bad, and it's just some dogma?

Whataboutism, and excusing inexcusable actions because of "retaliation".

I haven't once condoned anything the US military did. Doesn't mean people deserved to die.

That is not as obvious as you think it is. I would argue that the first thing most people would think it meant is "americans deserved to die", not "the Bush administration deserved the scrutiny and criticism it brought"

No one is arguing whether America or Israel is bad.

No one deserved to be killed or lose their loved ones on 9/11 or any other event. Thinking that civilians deserve to die because a government is bad is terrorist mentality.

No one sympathizes with the houthis.

Also I'm not leaving out any context. There is no universe where anything the houthis did was excusable. Hasan did explain it, and it made him look worse. He tries to justify the kidnapping of innocent civilians (some Asian workers who had nothing to do with it, who were working on a brittish vessel only partially owned by some Jewish person.) and holding them hostage for a year in that debate. "What else were they supposed to do?" How about not terrorism? How about going to Palestine? How about activism, propaganda, anything other than terrorism?

You're trying to delegitimize what I'm saying by saying I'm emotional and unspecific, and attacking my character. You're purposefully playing dumb to avoid the actual point I'm making. Then you try to move the goalpost by asking what he's done that is illegal or wrong, which is not what I'm talking about.

Here are the direct quotes so there is no mistaking it. Both points were reiterated in the video you linked.

"I think what the houthis are doing is a good thing" -Hasan

"We support you" -Hasan when interviewing a houthi terrorist.

Hasan is a terrorist supporter as evident by the above direct quotes.

As for what I found disgusting was when he excused his claims about the rape allegations being false and saying there was no evidence. Also in the video you linked.

Nobody is surprised by this, your behavior makes it crystal clear this is the kind of position you would have.

What is your point with this? Are you shaming me for watching the full debate that was supposed to clear everything up on both sides? Also didn't you just link an asmongold-style reaction video to that whole debate?

Which part is nonsense? The part where he said the houthis actions were a good thing, the part in the full debate you linked where he quadrupled down on it, or the fact that the houthis are registered as a terrorist organization and have kidnapped and held innocent civilians hostage for a year?

I saw the full unedited Ethan and Hasan debate, and Hasan's context and excuses just made me disgusted.
