I really can't buy anymore that this is Hasan simply being daft as opposed to him being so on board with the anti-Israel mission of Hamas that he's willing to act as their propogandist knowingly pedaling disinfo to a young, impressionable audience.
I'm the opposite. To me Hasan is a walking example of "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Correct me if I'm wrong here because if I'm honest, I usually find the Israeli-Palestine conflicts so toxic I want nothing to do with them. Usually all you can conclude is that at least one side is responsible for horrendous lies, (and it's probably both interchanging that position with each other) and the whole thing just makes me jaded and depressed looking at the conflict. I feel like the conflict can't heal because everyone's so ticked at each other that if anything, we "import hate" when we bother trying to weigh in on it. (multiple examples of assaults taking place from both sides in multiple western countries detached from the conflict, for example) It's made worse by the fact that even if you try to comment to get people to calm down and acknowledge faults from both sides, you basically cannot without people trying to put you in a box with one side or another before vilifying you.
Having said that:
From what I've seen of the hospital bombing, the photos I've found all show a parking lot with both a blast radius and property damage too small to be a serious bomb, and definitely too small to kill hundreds of people. This suggests a misfire from Hamas/PIJ rather than Israel, because if it were Israel, they could level the building easily. As I said, could be mistaken, but when I try to find photos of the event, this is all I find. I accidentally stumbled upon this because a combat vet I follow for Ukraine news covered the evidence and broke down how the blast radius and intact condition of the surrounding buildings makes it impossible to imagine so many people dying to it. I'm inclined to trust this because I got this from a neutral source that just tries to provide his input on which way he thinks a conflict will unfold strategically, NOT to provide political opinion. He spoke on this because he found the evidence so jarringly inadequate for the claim, not out of any allegiance or bias to any side.
I would think that if this were a clever, calculating propaganda machine behind Hasan's actions, they'd KNOW this is a losing fight, no? You pick your battles if you're smart and show more tact...which Hasan doesn't do. He was loudly out there screaming about Israel bombing a hospital the moment it was announced, but as time goes on, the evidence I've seen suggests this is highly improbable.
Hell, the clips linked of Hasan flipping out over the Sam Hyde fight imply the same: this man is genuinely just a tremendous idiot. There's some degree of correlation between aggression/violence and stupidity, and Hasan shows this in spades. Dude loses his shit all the time and starts screaming tirades when faced by his opposition. A part of him MUST know what kind of shit will make the internet mad at him, yet he periodically loses all control and says something he shouldn't, time and time again, solely because he can't control his anger... and even THEN he struggles to (truly) admit he was wrong after. He also seems visually and audibly out of place when debating Ethan, perhaps
precisely because he knows he can't act that way with someone he considers a friend.
If anything, Hasan is a very depressing wake-up call that often it's NOT some conspiring mastermind behind misinformation, but rather tribalist idiots that are too eager to exonerate their side whilst sticking to any point that makes their side look good/the other side look bad.
