Commentator Mehdi Hasan and terrorist groups such as Hamas have at least one thing in common: They have both become masters of spreading anti-Western, anti-American, and antisemitic propaganda while scuttling behind their shields of victimhood the second someone turns the lights on to uncover their shameless bigotry.

During a debate on CNN NewsNight, hosted by Abby Phillip, Hasan casually accused conservative commentator Ryan Girdusky of being a Nazi, to which Girdusky responded with a dark joke alluding to Hezbollah terrorists’ exploding pagers (“I hope your beeper doesn’t go off”). Hasan was outraged, and the panel exploded — not unlike the Hezbollah beepers Girdusky mentioned.
