Russell Brand And Sean Hannity Are Having A Public War Of Words Over Gaza

In an unlikely manifestation of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the comedian Russell Brand and the Fox News anchor Sean Hannity have had a very public and personal disagreement over the Gaza crisis.

The row started when Brand focused an episode of his satirical YouTube series, The Trews, on an episode of Hannity’s show where he questioned Yousef Munayyer, executive director of the Jerusalem Fund. As part of the interview, Hannity asked Munayyer, “what part of this can’t you get through your thick head?”, before stopping the interview short when Munayyer refused to answer “yes” to the question “Is Hamas a terrorist organization?”

“One of the definitions of a terrorist is using intimidation to reach your goals,” says Brand in his video. “Who in that situation was behaving like a terrorist? Using intimidation, bullying, being unreasonable? Sean Hannity, that is where the terrorism is coming from.”

Brand goes on to make the following analogy about the conflict: “If I’m beating up somebody with a variety of weaponry and they’re jabbing me with a pin ... of course, it’s still out of order, the pin. It hurts and everything, but don’t remove all context except for the information that’s convenient to you.”

I really don’t get why Sean would bother responding to a guy who looks like he has a foot and a half in the grave. Just look at Brand, I wouldn’t sit on a toilet he has been on if you paid me a million bucks

Gee, I … wonder … who … will … win … that … one.

Wouldn’t you just love to move that maggot-infested jerk to a Muslim neighborhood

And see how long he lasts?

So, what did Katy Perry see in him?

He is a real piece of work: Jemima Khan and her boyfriend Russell Brand prompted a complaint to police after a masseuse claimed she was assaulted during a visit to the heiress’s £15 million Oxfordshire home. Thames Valley Police started an investigation after the 31-year-old, who claimed she had been booked by Miss Khan as a birthday present for Mr Brand, complained that the comedy actor pushed her during an altercation at Kiddington Hall last month. Mr Brand denied the allegation and the police did not proceed to a full investigation. Szilvia Berki, who is from Hungary, and charges up to £500 for a massage, told police she had been left upset and frightened after the incident flared up following a disagreement about the service she was to provide. Officers from the police station in Chipping Norton investigated Miss Berki’s complaint but later informed her that they would be unable to proceed due to a lack of evidence.
