‘Professor’ Khaled Beydoun, who has a history of spreading propaganda, shared a bogus screenshot on Twitter which read, “Go back to your country dirty Arab.” A supposed reply to the fake post read, “I can’t (go back). Your government gave Israel $14 billion last week to destroy it (Gaza).”

This is how Hamas terror supporters spread propaganda, fake stories and rubbish in favour of Islamist terror.

Beydoun claimed that he received the message from a follower on Instagram, and insinuated that Arabs and Muslims are somehow being subjected to Islamophobia as a result of the war in Gaza.
Twitter users quickly debunked the claim in the community notes, observing that the ‘racist message’ was written by Khaled Beydoun himself. “Blue on Instagram means that the message was sent from his own phone. Khaled presumably sent the racist message to himself,” it said.
After being debunked, the Washington Post columnist quickly deleted this tweet.
Users also pointed out that this was not the first time Beydoun spread fake news and pro-Hamas propaganda. Beydoun had shared a 2017 image from the Syrian conflict, falsely claiming it was a recent Israeli attack on Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

“They are targeting ambulances and dropped phosphorus bombs in the vicinity of the hospita,” he falsely claimed.
In addition, the US-based professor has a history of disseminating both anti-Hindu and anti-India propaganda.
What a fine upstanding person he is.
WaPo can justly be proud of him
He fits right in with the rest of the liars there.
