“What happened to your legs?” the activist, operating under the handle, The Palestine News Network (PNN), asked Mast as he was walking through the halls of the US Capital. “Did a red triangle go over your head?”
The red triangle has been used in Hamas propaganda since the October 7 massacre to denote the targeting of personnel or vehicles by terrorist forces.
Mast responds to anti-Israel activist
When he served in the capacity of an explosive ordnance disposal technician, Mast was seriously wounded by an improvised explosive device in the Arghandab District of Kandahar, while he was clearing an area for the US Army Rangers during an operation. Both his legs had to be amputated, and he now wears prosthetics.
Mast threatened the belligerent activist by asking him, “Want to know what happens if these legs get stuck up somebody’s a**? You’re about to find out.”
The activist then replied by suggesting that Mast was making a “homophobic comment.”
The PNN social media account focuses on accosting Washington DC staffers and congresspeople, insulting them if they do not answer its queries about Palestinians.
