Mehdi Hasan Wants to Know Why Dan Goldman Only Mentioned Jewish Man Stabbed in ‘Allahu Akbar’ Attack

Mehdi Hasan, ruler of the Zeteo media empire, is upset again, this time over the reaction to two men being stabbed outside a synagogue in New York City on Thursday. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani noted that, according to a witness and to statements from the victims, both of whom are expected to survive, the attacker yelled "Allahu Akbar" during both attacks.

I have been briefed on today’s horrifying stabbings on the Upper West Side, where an Asian man and a Jewish man were attacked. According to witness and victim statements, the perpetrator yelled “Allahu Akbar” during both attacks. I am relieved that both victims are in stable… https://t.co/0LSGtvPojx

The post continues:

… condition.
The NYPD responded immediately and arrested Raul Morales in connection with both assaults—and I am grateful to the officers for their swift response.
The NYPD’s initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor. They are also evaluating these stabbings as potential hate crimes.
These hateful and despicable attacks have no place in our city.

Mamdani popped on later to say that the suspect, Raul Morales, is facing both hate crime and attempted murder charges.

Rep. Dan Goldman posted that the stabbings were antisemitic, which triggered Hasan:

I have no doubt there will be many well-written social media posts condemning the antisemitic stabbings on the Upper West Side today, and I’m sure many people’s thoughts and prayers will be with the victims and their families.

But these statements ring hollow when so many in…

… the city normalize antisemitism, including simply by associating American Jews with the actions of the Israeli government.
Enough is enough.

Hasan has a special place in his heart for Asians.

Stop trying to distract from the fact that he targeted a Jewish man while chanting Allahu Akbar.

Your tactic of trying to make the unhinged antisemitism look better by saying “ Hey look! He stabbed an Asian guy first!”

“The other victim, an Asian man, is still being treated.”

Right there in his report about a terrorist who shouted “Allahu Akbar.”

This literally isn’t even true. Just only one was considered a hate crime (which is what this very specific segment covers). Continue telling yourself antisemitism doesn’t exist buddy, the money is worth it for you I’m sure!

You don’t care about the “erasure” of the Asian man. You care only that CBS News called out your guy.

He was not part of the chosen tribe. There is the tribe and the rest of humanity; in the scale of values, if you are not a member of the tribe, your life has no value and your death, however tragic it might be, is a non-event.

That’s your takeaway?

He stabbed an Asian guy first, and everyone's focused on antisemitism! *stomps feet*
