After a watchdog group confronted Mehdi Hasan, he published a tweet noting “conflicting accounts” surrounding the incident. By JNS 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, reported the media watchdog group CAMERA. Hasan retweeted a post by Palestinian activist Issa Amro that included a nine-second video of a Palestinian boy in a vegetable store in Hebron. The youngster runs off-camera by the end of the clip, while another man in the video ducks for cover. The video does not show violence or a shooter, and it’s unclear from the footage how the Palestinian boy was injured.
