I don't think he's ever said shit about genocides anywhere ever that don't have direct US involvement.
I've seen clips where he wink-wink 'can't say I do, but I do' supports hezbollah because US considers them a terrorist organisation, but its well documented they were extremely involved in syria for example, which seems at odds with any actual consistent ethically ieological underpinnings beyond US Bad, Not US Good.
He scoffed at news footage of the murdered Israeli embassy workers, denies October 7 rapes to a degree that even plagiarize would scratch his head at, etc. Hasan is deeply prejudiced and whether or not he "hates" Jews or is just doing it for money and notoriety makes no difference. His community hates Jews, he knows his community hates Jews, and he could easily say "this is something I don't stand for", but doesn't. If you're facilitating and encouraging people to hate an ethnic group you're a fucking racist and it doesn't really matter what your motives are.
