Mehdi Hasan to Fmr. IDF Spox: ‘The Israeli Position Now Is Anyone Who Disagrees with Them Is Hamas’’

EXCERPT:

HASAN: "So, I think all of your viewers saw me quote the spokesperson for the Israeli hostages' families, and the colonel then said I'm parroting Hamas talking points. He's referring to the hostages' families as Hamas, as parroting Hamas talking points, because I quoted them. I didn't quote Hamas. In fact, tonight, the colonel knows that hundreds of people went to Netanyahu's house and screamed, 'You have blood on your hands,' Israeli protesters. I guess they're all Hamas, right? The Israeli position now is anyone who disagrees with them is Hamas. I'm guessing tomorrow they'll say CIA Director Bill Burns, who was involved in this hostage negotiation deal, he's Hamas, too, everyone is Hamas. And as for deception, I mean, come on, the colonel was a spokesperson for the IDF, which has spent the last six months lying. Abby, your network has debunked multiple lies that the Israeli military has told. CNN's Jeremy Diamond, I urge all your viewers to go and watch your colleague Jeremy Diamond's report on ten kids killed in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp last month. The Israelis said, 'We had nothing to do with it.' And yet Jeremy interviewed three munitions experts who looked at the evidence, said, yes, Israel killed those ten kids. So, when we talk about deception, we're learning from the masters here."
