Video: Here's half of that absolutely bonkers meltdown by Peter Beinart after Rich Lowry calmly schools him on why it's not such a great idea to defend an organization that's actually pushed blood libel (among other hateful, ugly things). Beinart lost it and it was not pretty

Here's the full transcript of Lowry calmly schooling Beinart, who did the pro-terror, pro-neo-Nazi Miftah a real solid with this meltdown

Here's the first part of the back-and-forth in which Peter Beinart defends Miftah and The Squad by claiming "Palestinians don't have to be saints" and Rich Lowry calmly takes that apart by noting that the same luxury would (correctly) not be given to white nationalists

Annnnd last but not least, this is the middle part. Even though Lowry was very calm in his rebuttal, Beinart starts losing his mind, asserting that even though he disagrees, "many Palestinians" think Israel's "violent oppression" wants terror against Jewish people

I'll have a full post coming eventually at @NewsBusters (hopefully by 6:30 p.m. Eastern)
