MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan Sticks Up for Jew-Hater Sarsour, Scapegoats Bari Weiss for Geico Dropping Sarsour Honor

This is an excellent illustration of why these vicious radicals never lose: they have each other’s backs. The right has no such loyalty or integrity. If leftists come after someone on the right, other people on the right are all too eager to throw us under the oncoming train. Whereas the left circles the wagons when one of their own is under fire (no matter how egregious the crime), the right assembles a circular firing squad and eats their own. Every effective counter jihad voice on the right has been abandoned and shunned by the right. I should know. So it’s no surprise at all that the vicious Mehdi Hasan would stick up for the equally vicious Linda Sarsour. But watch what happens now. Will the right rush to the defense of Bari Weiss? Don’t kid yourself.

“MSNBC Host Adds Fuel to the Fire Amid Geico’s Linda Sarsour Scandal,” United With Israel, April 11, 2022:

MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan singled out Jewish journalist Bari Weiss when he weighed in on Geico canceling an appearance by Linda Sarsour, who has spread antisemitic falsehoods and slandered Israel.

Geico Insurance recently cancelled an appearance by anti-Israel mouthpiece Linda Sarsour at its company-sponsored celebration of Middle Eastern and North African Heritage Month.

Sarsour’s statements and affiliations have resulted in persistent accusations of Jew-hatred. Geico appeared to heed the requests of Jewish community advocates demanding it sever ties with Sarsour, who has praised antisemitic hate-preacher Louis Farrakhan and insisted that Israel “is built on the idea that Jews are supreme to everyone else.”

After Geico cancelled Sarsour’s appearance at its event, MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan tweeted, “Never forget that Fox, Bari Weiss, and the rest don’t have an issue at all with cancel culture – as long as the people being canceled (Fox literally uses this word in relation to Sarsour in its news story!) are people they don’t like or don’t agree with.”

Bari Weiss is a Jewish journalist who resigned from the New York Times over antisemitism and systemic bias related to Israel and the Jewish community.

In the past, Hasan faced accusations of promoting an anti-Israel agenda.

“[Hasan] tweeted a libelous claim on Saturday about a supposed Israel Defense Forces sniper injuring a Palestinian boy,” reported JNS in 2021, citing the media watchdog group CAMERA….

Sarsour, for her part, has spread patently false information related to Jews and Israel, appearing in a video claiming that the Jewish King David was a Muslim. She also characterized Jesus, who was Jewish, as a “Palestinian.”

Sarsour falsely accused Israel of ethnic cleansing and promotes BDS, which seeks Israel’s destruction….
