Kind reminder for everyone, that this is Ethan Klein in one of the most infuriating and evil videos I have seen in my life: https://old.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1bg1xzs/old_and_horrifying_video_of_h3h3_resurfaces/
Had to use old reddit (you don't need an account to see NSFW stuff here) because he successfully got it censored in YouTube.
This is the dude you are using as a moral compass right now. A dude who literally joked about raping a Boston Bomb victim while he was 28 years old and being filmed by the Raider of Ramallah. The dude who calls everyone a pedophile repeatedly until they ruin their life and career. This is who you are asking us to show a shred of attention to.
He is a Zionist who wants innocent Palestinians dead because he hates Arabs. His dad was an actual pedo, didn't he impregnate his mom while she was still underage and with a massive gap of like 10 years between the two? The fact Ethan calls others a pedophile as an automatic insult says a lot about him, it is a massive red flag, and the fact he had to move from Israel or whatever in his early 20s doesn't help the suspicion either. Ethan Klein has a high chance of being an actual pedophile himself.
I am not using him as a moral compass, he made an argument that something is antisemitic. If I don't care who made the argument because it's immaterial to the point of "why are the only 2 Jewish people in F tier in a video about a Jewish hummus?" Ethan is a react farmer and always has terrible arguments and was part of the gamer gate movement of just making fun of women and saying "politics(that disagree with me) bad", but that doesn't mean what he said here was wrong.
TL:DR They are in the F tier for being Zionists who use stochastic terrorism to cause immense amounts of pain and suffering unto innocent people. Not just because they are Jews. It is not antisemitic, it is anti-zionist, a very, very important difference.
He has proven to have the worst judgement possible, dude. The Boston video is just an appetizer that displays the kind of person he is and what to expect. Those two people in the F tier deserve to be there because they are pieces of shit who deserve to be insulted and made fun of for the rest of their lives unless they do massive things that tip the scale. That's it, stop trying to farm sympathy for evil people, it won't work, I don't care if they are "Jews"; they are Zionists, and Zionists killed my family in Lebanon and Palestine.
I won't excuse their crimes just because they went through the Holocaust anymore, and you should stop too. 2 years after WWII ended, they did the Nakba. They are not innocent little angels, they are human beings, and human beings are complex. You trying to make this black and white, by using antisemitism as a shield, is not going to work anymore. Zionists deserve everything that is coming to them, and I still respect Jews, because not all Jews are Zionists. I'd say the same about Americans, despite the anger I display, I can still separate MAGAs from Americans instead of treating them all as monolithic.
