NBC News Reporter Complains U.S. Doesn't Acknowledge Hamas, Won't "Rein In" Israel (video)

On MSNBC this afternoon, Ayman Mohyeldin, NBC News' correspondent located in Gaza, essentially went on a pro-Hamas rant when he complained that the United States doesn't acknowledge Hamas and will not "reign in" Israel.

Mohyeldin: Well the United States can definitely play a pivotal role. I don’t think people in this part of the world feel it has played the role it should be playing. And that really comes down to two very important factors: One, the United States does not have any direct contact with the Palestinian factions which it, and Israel, and others label as terrorist organizations. Despite the fact Hamas did win democratic elections here, despite the fact that it is a part of the fabric of Palestinian politics. That simply cannot be ignored or isolated or marginalized. They have instead focused on the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, and this hasn’t necessarily produced tangible results. So, there’s a lot of problems in terms of getting everyone on the same table. Not everyone sits at the same table. So, people would first, and U.S. officials in the past, including President Jimmy Carter and others, they’ve argued that that dynamic in itself has to change; there has to be a bigger, wider table for negotiations in order for this problem to be solved. The other issue has to be able to reign in Israel in terms of the actions it takes on the ground. We referenced this yesterday, one of the biggest issues, and because Israel is such a dependent recipient of U.S. military aid, and money, that when it comes to Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank, it hasn’t stopped, despite the fact that the U.S. opposes this policy.

No, No, they are just being “multicultural”. A hallmark of the left is that they will support any enemy of the US, even if they are indiscriminant murderers of children. They manage to find a rationale that makes them right and the US wrong.

Well I guess that makes all of the terror attacks OK then.

What a Hamashole.

NBC is owned by Comcast. ABC is owned by Disney.

Has anyone else figured out that that every active member of Hamas is someone's "correspondent?"
Also ambulance driver and/or "aid worker?"
How stupid are these people?
