Responding to
Hasan Piker’s “Hamas over Israel” comparison
"I think all of that is an irrelevant distraction."
His answer minimizes the electoral focus on Piker but contains an explicit condemnation of Hamas, so it is not a Hamas endorsement or a refusal to answer.

Raskin dismisses the dispute as an electoral distraction while explicitly condemning Hamas and also criticizing Netanyahu's policies. September 6 broadcast date; exact answer time unknown.
