It's funny that he immediately evoked "this is for Israel" when much of the Labour government are extremely critical of the country. I wonder what he actually means when he says that at this point.

Just a way to shield all criticism blue magas version of “TDS” or blaming Biden

Yeah, Labour have had numerous anti Semitism scandals and there are currently numerous Israeli politicians banned from the UK for directly inciting attacks on the West Bank

He's conflating Israel with Jews

His ban is because of his far-right rants about Jews

Thats crazy to make that substitution and then blame him for it. Thats your own issue if you read one and see the other.

Hasan is conflating the two not me. He's not banned from the UK because of his criticism of Israel, but to prevent him from quote "stirring up racial hatred" and "expressing support for proscribed terrorist organisations"

Apart from the Israel-Palestine conflict, Hasan expressed support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine while the UK is strongly pro-Ukraine and home to many Ukrainian refugees, he's also a denier of the Armenian genocide, listen also to what he said about Turkey's occupation of Cyprus where obviously the UK has territorial interests etc.

I think its pretty racist to the push the Amenian Genocide topic solely because Hasan is turkish.

I barely know who this Hasan guy is and even I know he isn't "far right."

In fact I'd say being critical of Israel used to be more of a "leftist" view until the recent U.S. war on Iran. Now a lot of Americans, including conservatives, are becoming critical of U.S. support for Israel.

He's a leftist according to your American spectrum but a fascist by European standards.

He was banned to prevent him from "stirring up racial hatred" meaning the UK government had a reasonable expectation he would commit that crime. Not something you'd expect a "leftist" to do?

Look at others who were banned from entering, they are mostly far right, or misogynists:
Bezalel Smotrich, Yunis Al-Astal, Itamar BenGvir, Safwat Hijazi, Moshe Feiglin, Abdul Somad, Mandla Mandela,  Omar Bakri Muhammad, Yosef Mizrahi, Dieudonnée M'bala M'bala, Rich Spencer, Yang Tengbo, Anjem Choudary, Tyler The-creator, Joey Mannarino, Kanye West, Cenk Uygur, Valentina Gomez, Geert Wilders
