As Twitchy reported earlier this week, Oliver Darcy popped his head up and said in a piece headlined "CBS's El-Sayed Scandal" that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss was personally involved in a headline suggesting that Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed will be facing political attacks as the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches after he deleted tweets about the 2001 terrorist attack. Putting El-Sayed's name in the same post as 9/11 was "super offensive and disgusting and Islamophobic," according to Mehdi Hasan.
One post from two weeks after Hamas terrorists paraglided into the Nova Music Festival, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, and kidnapped 250, including an infant, hasn't been deleted, and it's been getting a fresh airing on X this week.
At the heart of the genocide being perpetrated against innocent Palestinians today is the Islamophobic trope that *all* Palestinians must be aligned with Hamas.

It’s the most murderous form of the post-9/11 lie our country told to take civil liberties from Arabs & Muslims then.
He said this a week before Israel went in. https://t.co/Dv1j6k2o6g

What a pig you are spreading the genocide lie before Israeli ground forces even entered Gaza and while the savages still had 240 of our hostages. You’re disgusting

Maybe you should move to Gaza and be their senator. All you do is talk about Israel and Palestine - come on Michigan, wake up.

Never mind that “genocide” and denying civil liberties are both post 9/11 lies, and Islamophobia is the trope, “doctor,” it’s the Americans aligned with Hamas I’m more concerned about. Israel is effectively managing the problem of Palestinians aligned with Hamas.

Narrator - Israel had not taken a single retaliatory action related to 7/10 by Oct 21, 2023. Yet this vile bastard was already accusing Israel of genocide.

No civil liberties were taken away, just another lie. As for all palestinians, no, not all, just 98%. The other 2% stay quiet because they know what happens to people who disagree with Hamas. The more you talk, the more disgusted I am.

What civil liberties were taken from Arabs & Muslims after 9/11?
— Glanhir (@Glanhir) September 2, 2026
A reminder that Abdul El-Sayed and others were already accusing Israel of genocide nearly a week before a single IDF soldier even entered Gaza, and while all 251 hostages were still held by terrorists.

"Genocide" was a coordinated lie after Oct 7th and it's still a big lie today https://t.co/VU0DsvFAID
“Hurt people hurt people “

Israel was very hurt 10/7
They hadn't invaded yet when you posted this, bigot.
— jeff (@brokenPrime) September 2, 2026
Abdul, please explain to the world how Israel carried out a genocide when Israel did not enter Gaza until October 27th, a week after this post?

You’re disgusting. Not fit for Senate or citizenship.
— Tom Owens (@thomaspublius) September 2, 2026
Psychopath
Israel gave Hamas a three-week running head start before retaliating for the attempted genocide of Israelis on October 7. El-Sayed couldn't even wait that long to accuse Israel of genocide.
