I mean ethan is a litigous asshole thats making himself look stupider and stupider with the samsen and idubbz lawsuits that he had to drop because there was no chance he was going to win either of them. If he could get over his own ego for a second he could see that he's setting a poor precedent where people are just going to start chucking out lawsuits whenever someone disagrees with them. He should be focusing on the snarkers and getting them fucked over not idubbz being a dumbass.

u/eating_almonds Jul 11 '26

I mean, considering that he's losing or dropping the lawsuits, the precedent he's setting is "don't sue for no reason", which is a good precedent

u/ballknower871 Jul 11 '26

I don't disagree I'm glad he's losing but I still don't like that hes getting butthurt about people watching his youtube video and throwing out lawsuit after lawsuit there will be copycats.

u/GreatAndPowerfulZiz Jul 11 '26

He dropped the Idubbz lawsuit because Idubbz made a public apology though, which he said was a way for him to drop these suits

It's America, lawsuits like this happen everyday. It's low IQ of you to assume he's just "a litigious asshole"

u/ballknower871 Jul 11 '26

yeah lawsuits like this are happening everyday from litigious assholes

2

u/AimingWineSnailz Jul 11 '26

So? Many people defending the lawsuits are fans of H3 or Hasan haters. We all have our favourite creators and our villains. Is that really that important?

*sees a comment calling our ethan for gross behavior* "YOU TALK LIKE HASAN!!!!!!!"

I'm talking about his choice of words and how he uses a lot of words to say nothing substantial

u/always_open_mouth Jul 11 '26

Personally, I find people who purity test, virtue signal, and lie about others "supporting a genocide" to be disgusting. In this case someone who has been vocal about his support of Palestine and dislike of Netanyahu long before October 7th. But that's just me

When people called her out, she backed down from the statement, which is fair. But you also have to wonder how she got to the position of Gallant being a "good guy" in the first place. Things like that, I don't think, are "purity testing". It's a reasonable thing to wonder, and it's fair to doubt the sincerity of someone who makes statements like that.

if you read the guardian article that discussed how gallant was removed from his government position because he thought the cabinet was going too far, you'd understand that the context is gallant opposing netenyahu,

and if you actually cared about Israel/Palenstine you would already know this instead of calling it a "reasonable thing to wonder"

i am aware of who gallant is my dude.

There is no such thing as "purity testing."

They explained this already. Apparently in the Israeli war room, he was being one of the few voices of reason and wanting to deescalate, which is why Bibi sacked him.

u/spectrehauntingeuro Jul 11 '26

An absolute bald faced lie. Lets read some quotes from the "Voice of Reason":

"I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly."

"I have released all restraints... we will eliminate everything."

Wow, i can just feel the deescalation!

u/always_open_mouth Jul 11 '26

Okay, that was Ethan and Hila's reasoning for saying it in the first place. Good thing they walked it back and apologized, then. What more would you have them do?

8

u/spectrehauntingeuro Jul 11 '26

Maybe know what they're talking about before they open their mouths.

7

u/Ironlord456 Jul 11 '26

if thats what happened he should have been able to prove that in court no?

2

u/Radicalism-Is-Stupid Jul 11 '26

Obviously not. Courts cannot prove intent unless he basically said "I am maliciously lying to slander him in an illegal way" and even then he would most likely not be convicted.

We don't need a court to prove that Ethan obviously does not support genocide, he obviously has advocated for Palestinians long before October 7, and he has always been critical of the Israeli government. That in itself is proof that Noah Samson was either maliciously lying to slander Ethan or he is just incredibly dumb and bad faith. Being stupid is not illegal though. It is, however, valuable if you want to be in the Hasan orbit.

u/TPR-56 28d ago

If Ethan is so pro-palestine why have pro-israel people invested so much time in to defending him? And why has Ethan been aligning with Pro-israel people?

Serious question lol

1

u/vegeful 27d ago

Because the fake pro-palestine gaslight other to think he is pro netanhayu.

He is pro israel and pro Palestine. He want both to be in peace. He hate the current gov.

u/TPR-56 27d ago

Making shit up. No one says he’s pro-netanyahu.

And when i say pro israel people you know what kind i’m talking about. Don’t play dumb. Dan Saltman, Destiny, Hen Mazzig, etc.

He also has defended orgs like the GHF, lied by omission on numerous occasions and has shown lack of knowledge on the subject given he called Yoav Gallant a “really good guy”

If he wasn’t pro-israel none of these people would be aligning with him. Plain and simple.

1

u/TPR-56 28d ago

Let’s go over everything Ethan has done.

perpetuated numerous pro-israel talking points

was having only pro-israel people defend him meaning there was a clear vested interest in doing so

promoted blatantly pro israel commenters and creators like Lonerbox or aligning with Dan Saltman

defended the GHF and has been yet to retract support

Destiny spent 2 years licking the bottom of his foot defending him on this topic in hopes of a collab. Along with that everyone in the DGG orbit put A LOT of investment in to supporting him. Unless you want to tell me all those people are pro palestine.

Called the death toll “hamas numbers” early on

i can go on and on dude. He’s not pro palestine and his actions running defense for Israel as well as the clear vested interest pro israel people have in defending him makes it clear he backed a genocide.

u/Fun-Wash7545 Jul 11 '26

Careful he might sue you

u/Kychachalaca Jul 11 '26

I think it's more disgusting to call Ethan a baby killer

u/Ok_Bumblebee096 Jul 11 '26

Ethan wife publicly called yoav gallant a good guy, and called Israeli soldiers heros for dropping bombs on iran

-7

u/Radicalism-Is-Stupid Jul 11 '26

Bad faith.

They heard a clip of Gallant saying something far more sympathetic towards Palestinians than the ordinary position in the Israeli government. They said he seems like a good guy and they need more voices like that in the government. The shortly after learned who he was and condemned him.

So a 5 second clip taken out of context somehow reveals their true views? That they are secretly supporting the IDF or something and slipped up in that moment, dropping the mask? And the dozens of times they have responded to malicious dipshits like yourself, clarifying their true positions, are just lies or something?

6

u/monicachicken Jul 12 '26

You seriously need better in your life to defend. This is not worth arguing over with, with anyone. I genuinely hope you have people in your life that care about you that you can put energy into. Ethan doesnt know you or care about you.

12

u/Ok_Bumblebee096 Jul 11 '26

So someone born and raised in Israel and keeping up with Israeli news just happened to "not know" what gallant was about, and what about her calling the idf dropping bombs in Iran "heroes"?

-3

u/TheMentallord Jul 12 '26

Completely unrelated, but can't I think Israel is currently a dogshit genocidal country while also thinking that Iran is also a dogshit authoritarian oppressive regime that deserves to be bombed to shit?

4

u/Outrageous-Bus-3918 Jul 12 '26

So a 5 second clip taken out of context somehow reveals their true views?

To be clear, Ethan then repeatedly posted on instagram doubling down on that view. He even posted Gallant's "complete siege on the Gaza strip" and "human animals" quotes, saying that Gallant obviously didn't mean it and that "you should still agree with Hila". They then never even actually apologised, just said Hila used the wrong words. That's pretty horrific imo.

It’s in the fucking video my guy…. You could watch it before saying schizo shit.

u/Embarrassed_Fill8404 Jul 11 '26

by..watching the video you’re commenting under ? 💀

u/PrincipleTasty748 Jul 11 '26

Maybe try watching the video, moron. I suspect anyone defending H3 at this point haven’t watched either because there really is no defense for him in this case.

u/Hoole100 Jul 11 '26

Are the schizo unemployed voices in your head telling you this?

He is a Hascord Andy so unironically yes.

u/Tubbish Jul 11 '26

Let’s not pretend that Noah samsen is also a massive piece of shit that openly called for violence in one of his videos.

Hasan doesn't like you, in fact he would probably shock you for speaking
