UC Berkeley’s Hatem Bazian is again lashing out at Jonathan Schanzer’s Congressional testimonyon the involvement of seven former “key employees” of now-defunct Hamas-linked organizations who’re now associated with the pro-BDS American Muslims for Palestine. Bazian rails at Schanzer and the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and charges them with McCarthyism and “Islamophobia,” but never challenges Schanzer’s facts. As usual, Bazian offers fact-free, cliche-ridden bluster in lieu of rigorous rebuttal. It’s all he’s got.
