New The Intercept reporter said the "eclipse" of the so-called Shia crescent makes her happy. She called Shia "dogs" https://web.archive.org/web/20170921185651/https:/twitter.com/MaryamSaleh_/status/167294587470225408 …pic.twitter.com/CtYQWnrt7T

She is not calling all Shia dogs here. She's clearly referring to Hezbollah. Fine to criticize that of course, but do it accurately.

Let us not kid ourselves: If someone called Israelis “dogs and lowly” that person would be fired, assuming she didn’t curse all Shi'ites.
-
What about sectarian lingo mostly used by al-Qaeda replacing “Allah” with “al-Lat” to allude that Hezbollah are infidels?pic.twitter.com/Lvtoopkhny

"Mostly used by al-Qaeda." Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.
-
Ryan, you are defending the indefensible here. This isn't a joke. This woman is extremely sectarian, it's like kkk language
-
Look, I'm not gonna tone police a tweet in Arabic from 5 years ago. Let she who is without twitter sin cast the first stone.
-
Tone police? She is using bigoted language. It would be unacceptable if she said this about any other group, but against Shias it's ok?
-
She's shit talking Hezbollah here. Saying that is the same as attacking all Shias is like saying attacking AIPAC or Israel is antisemitic
-
Ryan all these you are responding to are sectarians or Islamophobes are both. They try to hide it like as'ad but we Syrians know

.So
@theintercept has hired an#AlQaeda propagandist, Wahhabi/Salafi pro regime change coups/wars PR tool to work under you? -
Al Qaeda? Y'all have gone all the way around the bend
-
Sadly, yes; read her articles and her Twitter feed (I can read it). It is all anti-secular govt, anti-Shia, never really criticises Al-Qaeda
-
So all Muslims must denounce al qaeda or be suspected of allegiance? Do you not see how crazy that sounds?
-
I don't go around denouncing al qaeda on the regular. That mean I'm a sympathizer? Or that doesn't apply to me?
-
I am not seeing you doing the same type of coverage as this lady does. The lady covers MENA for years and, sadly, there is a clear pattern.

Actually the full translation is: “May God take revenge against you, you dogs and lowly”.
-
The perfect hire for when Israel carpet bombs Lebanon, which could come soon. Can't wait for the adversarial coverage!

Of course she is. In fact Ben's translation is accurate. Why are you defending a clearly bigoted post?
