.@RepBowman: "It's one thing to support Israel, which the U.S. has always done and will continue to do. It's another thing to never hold Israel accountable for their behavior, whether it's related to the occupation... or the war crimes that are taking place right now."

With one year to go until the 2024 election, @MehdiRHasan breaks down a stunning new poll:
"To call these [results] anything other than savage for the President... for the Democratic Party and let's be honest, for the future of American democracy, would be an understatement."

While new House Speaker Mike Johnson’s extremism has many worried, @DelPercioS says there’s one silver lining:

The "G" word – genocide – can be used carelessly, insensitively, as a shutting of the gates, rather than opening a conversation, says @mehdirhasan. But it’s a conversation we need to have, given rhetoric from Hamas & Israeli officials: youtube.com/6u6-BymtuZI

22 family members of @AlnaouqA have been killed in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. What does he say when Israel says it’s targeting Hamas and trying to protect civilians?

Republicans finally elected a House Speaker. And while Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise were cast aside for being too extreme, the person who finally won is hardly a moderate. Meet House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Oxfam spokesperson @WhateverInGaza calls this weekend's aid convoys a drop “in an ocean of needs” in Gaza.
“It has been destruction of bakeries, grocery stores, and of everything, in our area, in the South, everywhere. Why would you bomb bakeries, again and again?”

Why is Donald Trump so angry that his former lawyers flipped on him in the Georgia election interference case? @BarbMcQuade says it's not just because of the "disloyalty." The moves have major legal implications. WATCH:

Will Netanyahu's political career be over when the Israel-Hamas war ends?
@NTarnopolsky says there are already calls for his resignation. "Israelis hold Netanyahu completely responsible. They don't accept the theory that he, too, was a victim of this surprise."

.@AOC's response to concerns that Biden's stance on the Israel-Hamas war could be alienating some parts of his Democratic base ahead of 2024:

In his speech last night, President Biden compared the atrocities of Hamas in Israel to Russia in Ukraine, but the rest of the world might make a different comparison.

We’ve seen this movie before. Not just with the U.S. "war on terror," but with Israel in Gaza. If bombing or invading Gaza is the solution to Hamas, then why hasn’t it worked the last half dozen or so times Israel tried it?

"When you see the images coming out of this conflict," @mehdirhasan says, "it’s hard not to lose faith in humanity." Yet some Israelis who lost the most are calling for peace. Watch Mehdi share their messages, which he says have "astonished me, and in many ways inspired me."
