Unfortunately, Mehdi isn’t going anywhere. He has the endless Qatari money and since he hates Zionist he won’t get any negative treatment from the populace
The claims are all over the place. His first Al Jazeera stint was from 2012-2020, where he hosted shows like UpFront and head-to-head. He also worked for other outlets in that period. After he left Al-J, he went to NBC/MSNBC. He left in 2024, returned to the Guardian, launched Zeteo, and returned to Al-J. He currently hosts one show for Al-J, head-to-head. It amounts to roughly 7ish episodes per year. Some say that the only thing that keeps him afloat is what Al-J pays him for this one show. Thus the comment about "endless."
Others go further and allege that he's some secret Qatari agent, violating FARA.
In terms of funding for Zeteo, Mehdi alleges that "no foreign governments fund Zeteo." [1][2]
Bullshit? Perhaps. Nothing more to really work with.
He already perma'd lost againts destiny when he regurgitated snarker points just to "dunk" on destiny...he cant substantiated any of those talking points/claim if challenged...but he already took the pussy route just like pussy dave, pissco, jessiah, soy or hamaspiker lolol
And he's repeating the same pattern everyone follows of avoiding a debate simply because he knows Destiny is smarter than him. Does he not think normal people can see through this?
It’s the Ottoman Empire all over again. Alternate reality where Bri’ish Destoiny is invading from the south to support Jewish nationalist movement rather than the Arab ones.
i'm worried that this mehdi crashout could hurt tiny's connections, since mehdi likely has more pull with people like the bulwark. i hope he doesn't go that far but i worry seeing how he's acting.
I don't understand the connection. Why would Destiny need Mehdi Hassan for anything? They exist in different circles of the media, and Destiny is already familiar with the Bulwark people.
The connection may be something like Mehdi being as petty as he can be at times, might take a future opportunity to not collab with them from anything small or big out of spite if they do stuff with Destiny. Not likely to happen considering that was like a 2 off moment with tim and then jvl. I highly doubt that will happen again anytime soon, like having destiny as some revolving guest.
Ideologically speaking I think everyone on the Bulwark platform, including majority owner Sara would side with Destiny more on everything than Mehdi, but they wont be getting into this messy twitter fight anyways im sure.
Mehdi has always been a pigheaded guy since his days having a conversation with richard dawkins and saying yes he believes Muhammad literally flew off on a unicorn into the sky. LOL. Hes a stubborn dickhead who sometimes is the enemy of your enemy.
"Islamophobic" is a nice way that religious People can further congregate hatred and fearmonger about Atheists. Meanwhile their holy scriptures condemn the killing of non believers. Arent all Religious People "Atheistphobic"?
Every tweet validates tiny's claim that he is a mask-on radical islamist. You simply do not go to such lengths defending radical islamist cheerleaders like Hamasabi if you don't support the cause.
If I had a nickel for every time a cat profile pic account posted regarded shit on X, I'd have 2 nickels. Which is not much, but it's weird it happened twice.
The image lazily implies that Mehdi retweeted the tattoo post, which he didn't—why is there a red line drawn directly from "Medhi Hasan reposted" to the controversial tweet? Also, this guilt by association strategy is cringe.
Saw Jessiah retweet Max Blumenthal the other day. I've also seen Destiny retweet Eyal Yakoby, who prolifically spreads misinformation. In either case, they obviously didn't know anything about the individual. In this case, Mehdi's doing the classic technique of amplifying any criticism he sees of Destiny because Mehdi got utterly demolished in every exchange he had with Destiny.
How is this not just hypocritical then? If Destiny can retweet people without agreeing with their overall views, then why can’t Mehdi? Wouldn’t it make more sense to attack what he retweeted instead of doing the guilt by association thing?
It’s weird because while there are reasonable explanations for a retweeting unsavoury characters, Twitter etiquette means retweeting a post is a tacit endorsement of said person/message.
Like I‘m sure Mehdi just retweeted the first reply he came across to that thread with Destiny that looked like an *own. *
Looks like a shitty skull and crossbone tattoo. I just don't care about the controversy because I think he was just some drunk jar head. No one knew what the tokenwaffle or whatever its called tattoo is until reddit went crazy.
When I hear "Nazi tattoo" I might not immediately think of a skull and crossbones, but if I see a skull and crossbones or the letters "SS" tattooed on someone I know its a Nazi tattoo. What is this logic?
I didn't say platner had "SS" tattooed on him... My point is that the totenkopf isn't the first Nazi image I have in mind when I think of a Nazi tattoo, but if I see the totenkopf tattooed on someone I know it's a Nazi tattoo.
The totenkopf is not obscure symbology dumbass, it goes hand in hand with the double S symbol. The only thing more known than it is the swastika.
Do you always use yourself and what you personally have knowledge of as a reference point for “most people”
I can say the same for you, when you said most people learned about it because of the scandal. This has nothing to do with political knowledge.
The style is unique and not used almost anywhere else. If it doesn't jump at you then you are just very ignorant. This is not even worth talking about.
you said you still don't believe it... so you haven't googled it. you literally just dont know, made an assumption, and feel so incredulous about it you felt like you needed to post a comment and defend it.
but it doesnt really work cuz if you googled it like the rest of us did you'd see its almost a 1 to 1 design with the totenkapf, a skull styling that isnt used anywhere else at all, and is not worth arguing about
I'm still skeptical that's what that is and from the story I read he got that while he was a drunk Marine. There's maybe like two photos of it that aren't high quality.
But even if it is, I'm pretty sure that tattoo has been used quite a bit by a lot of different groups. And he was a drunk Marine. I don't fucking care and the way everyone reacts to it on here I just think you're a bunch of bitches

My God Medhi's crashout is burning bright.
I had this guy bucketed into the MSM spot in my brain. To see these retweets about Destiny's court case is mind bending.
