Mehdi Hasan

Mehdi Hasan (born 1979) is British of Indian descent, Islamist propagandist, political journalist, broadcaster and book author.

Mehdi Hasan: “Once we lose the moral high ground we are no different from the rest, of the non-Muslims, from the rest of those human beings who live their lives as animals, bending any rule to fulfill any desire.”

Mehdi Hassan is a devout Muslim, jihad apologetic and with a history of anti-Semitism.

In 2004, Mehdi Hasan rehashes the same tired old anti-Israel Christmas story in the New Statesman.

In 2015, Hasan moved to Washington D.C. to be a full-time employee of Al Jazeera on UpFront At MSNBC since 2021.

On Apr 10, 2021:

The host of MSNBC’s “The Mehdi Hasan Show” tweeted a libelous claim on Saturday about a supposed Israel Defense Forces sniper injuring a Palestinian boy.

This MSNBC's anchor has been described:

Mehdi Hasan is a hate-filled far-Left MSNBC host who espouses fashionable Big Lies such as the claim that “white supremacy is now a key ideology of the Republican Party” and “the far-right domestic terror threat is more dangerous than even Al Qaeda after 9/11.” During the Whoopi Goldberg controversy, remarks that Hasan made in 2009 resurfaced, leading many to question why Hasan’s star has consistently risen in the Leftist media, despite his manifest hatred and contempt for non-Muslims. Hasan, a Shi’ite, said of the early Sunni caliph Yazid: “All of these ulama unanimously agree that at the very minimum if Yazid was not a Kaffir [unbeliever] — then at the very minimum he was a fasiq, a transgressor, a breaker of Islamic laws, a corrupt individual, a tyrant, a killer, a drunkard, a dog lover, a music lover, a homosexual, a pedophile, a sexual deviant, someone who slept with his own mother.”

After Mehdi Hasan, on MSNBC, used his rhetoric against the GOP and inserted, somehow, the words "neo nazis" ... Elon Musk replied: "NBC basically saying Republicans are Nazis …" He slammed NBC over scandals after host Mehdi Hassan says he’ll hand Twitter ‘to the far right.

Well, thank you and good evening. What a privilege it is to be here stood on this stage on what I consider to be the most important topic of our age. I have to begin with a debating tip coming from uh a land with a culture of uh a rich history of debate. Uh and that is that in debates it is for the proposition to define the motion and Douglas did that for you loud and clear. Mehdi seems to think that he can redefine anti-zionism without you noticing. But the proposition are not going to allow him to pull the wool over your eyes and conflate Zionism with politics. Who has the right to define Zionism? Well, apart from the proposition in this debate because that's how the rules work. Would you ask a misogynist to define misogyny? You wouldn't ask a sex offender to define rape. You wouldn't ask the KKK to define anti-black racism. So why, when it comes to the Jews, would you let the anti-Zionists define anti- Zionism? No. Ladies and gentlemen, no minority should have its identity dictated to it. And we have defined Zionism. It concerns the right of the Jewish people to self-determination in their ancient homeland. Zionism is not a political ideology. Zionism does not stipulate how the Jewish state should be governed, which is what a political ideology does. It simply says it should exist. It doesn't dictate borders or the makeup of population. It does not say that Israel should be socialist kibbutzim or capitalist startup nation. Israel has exemplified both of those and everything in between. This is not about political ideology. This debate is about racism and creating a double standard where you make an exception for the Jews. Now, you don't have to support Zionism. But if you are anti-Zionist, if you are against the Jews having a state, you are against the Jews. Mehdi is lying about what Zionism is in an attempt to win this debate and to provide cover for his own anti-semitism. We usually hear a series of lies spewed by anti-semite and anti-Zionists in an attempt to justify their anti-Zionism. And these are the modern blood liable. They are widely believed as widely believed as the ancient blood lible that Jews [supposedly] killed [sic] Christian children to use their blood for religious ritual. As widely believed and as false. I'm going to take you through four blood libels that anti-Zionists rely on. Number one, the libel of colonialism. Israel is the ultimate decolonization success story. Against all odds, after Arab imperialism, Islamic conquest and British colonialism, the Jews, indigenous to Judea, reestablished Israel. My family lived under Ottoman and then British colonialism in Jerusalem long before Yasser Arafat, who was born in Cairo, created Palestinian national identity in the 60s. Number two, the libel of "ethnic cleansing". In 1948, when five Arab armies and the local Arab population attacked the fledgling state of Israel with the stated intention of annihilating its people, 700,000 Arabs escaped the fighting. Those that remained became Israeli citizens. The Arab population of Israel has increased 10-fold. This is ethnic cleansing? No, ethnic cleansing is what happened to the Jews in 1948 when Jordan occupied the West Bank. Ethnic cleansing is what happened to 850,000 Jews expelled from Yemen, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq, where they'd lived for thousands of years. Ethnic cleansing left Arab countries Jewree. Meanwhile, 2 million Arabs live in Israel today. Number three, the libel of "apartheid". Because those Arabs that remained in Israel are now 20% of its population, the only free Arabs in the Middle East. They are represented in every area of Israeli society as mayors, army officers, police commanders, members of parliament and the Supreme Court. I served under Salem Juban who put both an Israeli prime minister and a president in jail and those who propagate the lie of apartheid seek to conflate Arab citizens of Israel with Arabs living under the Palestinian authority who have an autonomy and should be voting for their leadership. But President Mahmud Abbas is now in his 19th year of his 4-year term. Mumber four, the libel of "genocide", the reprehensible smear that maliciously accuses the Jews of perpetrating the very crimes committed against them. October 7 was the latest in a long history of genocidal acts by Arabs against Jews in the Middle East. The genocide lie inverts reality. Hamas has spent 16 years embedding its terror infrastructure in mosques, schools, hospitals, and every second house. Its central military tactic is to use civilians as human shields. And in the face of these unprecedented challenges, the IDF has taken greater measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other army in history, far exceeding the requirements of international law. "Genocide" is the latest modern blood libel that anti-semites use to justify their anti-Zionism, and it is central to Hamas's war strategy. Today, its only aim is to survive and to achieve this with international pressure on the Jews to cease their self-defense. Voting for the opposition supports Hamas in this endeavor by legitimizing, aiding, and abetting their anti-ionist aim to wipe out the Jews from the river to the sea. Don't stand with the terrorists and anti-semites. Stand on the side of moral integrity. Stand with the proposition...

In Jan 2025, Hasan and AOC were accused of "Jewsplaining" to ADL over Elon Musk gesture: accused of attempting to dictate to Jews what antisemitism is after they attacked the ADL's comment that Elon Musk did 'not make a Nazi salute.

Hasan: Make American Planes Crash Again

In February 2025, Hasan deletes ‘Make American Planes Crash Again,’ and blames the backlash on so called "Islamophobia."

In March 2026, Mehdi Hasan downplayed Nazis, claiming "American sailors Amare worse [sic] than Nazis.

This Islamist bigot Hasan is believed to be very active on Wikipedia. Not just about himself, of course.
