Let's review the many ways that Groggy and Gryfin have tried to defend Osama Hamdan's Jew hatred, with comments in parentheses on how intelligent adults should view their points.
According to G + G:
-- CNN mistranslated Hamdan's comments (A baseless assertion -- there is no evidence of that).
-- The clip that aired on CNN was doctored (A baseless assertion -- there is no evidence of that. In fact, it is clear the clip has not been altered).
-- CNN took the quote "out of context" (A baseless assertion -- there is no evidence of that).
-- The clip was "edited" to remove sentences before and after the four sentences. According to G + G, those allegedly removed sentences would change the meaning of the blood libel (A baseless assertion -- there is no evidence of that).
-- We don't know what question was asked (Not true, if we are to believe Osama Hamdan. He told Wolf Blitzer he was asked to respond to comments made by Israeli MP Moshe Feiglin).
-- We don't know the precise wording of the question that was asked (Irrelevant. See post #538).
-- We haven't seen the entire Al-Quds TV interview, so we can't understand what Hamdan's comments meant (Idiotic. G + G may think the meaning was unclear. Wolf Blitzer, the New York Times, and pretty much everyone else feel the meaning was quite clear).
-- Given the things that Moshe Feiglin reportedly said, Hamdan's blood libel is entirely understandable (A contradiction of all of the above points, since this one seems to concede that Hamdan probably did state the blood libel).
With no evidence to support any of their assertions, G + G resort to truther-style idiocy. For example, since the clip came from what was likely a longer interview, G + G falsely describe it as "edited," implying it was doctored in some way (it wasn't).
G + G will consider every possibility except the truth -- that Hamas is driven by a pathological hatred of Jews, and that its leaders stir up Jew hatred through statements such as the blood libel made by Osama Hamdan.
