“Is Trump beating Biden in some swing state polls because voters aren’t aware of Trump's authoritarianism? Or is it that a lot of them are quite keen on it?”

"There is no doubt that the Israeli government has committed war crimes." @OmarSShakir says Israel's actions in Gaza, including the cutting off of electricity, water, fuel and food to a population of 2.2 million "textbook collective punishment."

Hell on earth. That's how a U.N. spokesman describes northern Gaza right now. @MehdiRHasan lays out the dire situation on the ground as hospitals come under increasing bombardments and attacks.

.@RepMarkPocan: "[Oct. 7] was a horrific attack and I think [Israel] has a right to go after Hamas, but 4,500 kids are clearly not Hamas. A third of the buildings in northern Gaza being demolished or destroyed is not about going specifically after Hamas."

.@MehdiRHasan: “From punishing his political opponents to locking up immigrants in camps to deploying the military – all while echoing the hateful rhetoric of Adolf Hitler – we know exactly what we can expect if [Donald Trump] retakes the White House in 2024.”

Given the staggering civilian toll of its offensive in Gaza, @mehdirhasan says Israel may soon discover what the U.S. learned with its disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: “You cannot kill your way to victory over a foreign, occupied people.”

So... about all those polls showing Trump ahead of Biden? "America has Total Recalled itself," @mehdirhasan says: They memoryholed what an authoritarian Trump was domestically and what a warmonger he was internationally. So today, let’s remember. WATCH: youtube.com/VKpaY81Q5Q4

On Oct. 7th, former Israeli soldier @BenzionSanders lost a fellow veteran in Hamas’ brutal attack.
But as a veteran of Israel's 2014 attacks on Hamas, he tells @mehdirhasan that military force alone from Israel will not work when it comes to defeating Hamas.

“If you pay attention to what Hamas is saying, they don't want a ceasefire. It's the Palestinian civilians who are paying the highest price for this war, who desperately want and need a ceasefire.”

As @libradunn faced physical and racist attacks when protecting the Capitol on January 6th, all he could ask himself was “is this America?”
He tells @mehdirhasan, “the answer to that question is yes. This is America and that type of stuff has been going on for a long time.”

.@CraigMokhiber says that in his 32 years of work at the United Nations, he was never attacked for critiquing human rights violations in dozens of countries: “In the U.N., the only time you get criticized is when you dare to raise Israeli violations of Palestinian human rights.”
