well Mehdi thanks to you and the other side who work hard for spreading the hate.
You are a disappointment and a disgrace…@MSNBC what is your position?
I would expect no less from a Muslim like Medhi Hasan. He can't help it, hate for Israel is in his blood.
palestine must free of zionists nazis now
Did you consider Trumps travel ban against Muslim countries a "Muslim ban"? If so, how does that reconcile with calling anti-Israel not antisemitic?
The speaker only commented on Jewish nationalism. She essentialized it. Made it ahistorical. She made Jewish nationalism different from other nationalists. Chinese nationalism is making Chinese Muslims remove minarets for example. Come on. And what about t yemenute jews!!
Can someone explain how a talk show host is ok with saying hatred is ok. Are you serious? #hatered? SHAME on you Mehdi! Although I disagree with you, I don't hate you!
Giving a platform to hatred seems to be a bad idea no matter how many hoops one might jump through to differentiate who it targets.
