“If a [nuclear] weapon is a year away, you cannot say we're under imminent threat— that does not give you a right to self-defense.” Mehdi Hasan explains to Piers Morgan why Israel’s strikes on Iran were preventive, not preemptive — and therefore illegal under international law.

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan Mehdi Hasan nice accent well dressed. Still a vicious antisemite

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan Only small problem is that Mehdi -- himself a passionate supporter of Islamic jihadist terror -- doesn't know what he's talking about.....

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan Mehdi Hassan is in another league, he is the king of debate

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan Hassan expects Israel to sit & wait for an Iranian nuke. Who pays this guy ?

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan When these 'great journalists' understand that there are no international laws in anything. These so-called 'laws' are only on paper and remain on paper. There is only one international law which is called POWER.

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan This clown really expects that public knowledge of Iran's nuclear advancement is reflecting reality? Of course not, he knows it as well, but is counting on all the sheep that would take his word as gospel. Pathetic.

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan 60 days means 60 days not 61 tho

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan Time to have @SpencerGuard back! He just wrote a piece that directly debunks Mehdi

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan He's right. There is no indication that Iran was an imminent threat. There was time to negotiate, they were mostly complying with the nuclear inspectors. A heck of a lot more than Israel does.

@mehdirhasan @piersmorgan Jesus H Christ, what a fucking moron.
