.@mashagessen: “Legitimate political critiques of Israel… should not be lumped together with antisemitism. That actually puts us in more danger rather than protects us.”
In tonight's final edition of the #handover, @MehdiRHasan and @AymanM remember Al Jazeera journalist, Samer Abu Daqqa, who was killed in Gaza this week.
@AymanM: "He was truly a remarkable guy and an amazing friend."
.@simonerzim, one of two Jewish Americans profiled in the documentary "Israelism" reflects on the rising death toll in Gaza:
"If there's anything that I've learned in the last two months it's that massacring anybody in the name of safety for another people doesn't work."
.@mashagessen tells @MehdiRHasan that comparing the conditions in Gaza today to Nazi-era ghettos “gives us language for what is happening now.”
“In order to make ‘never again’ not an empty slogan… we have to have tools for recognizing when something like that is happening.”
"I want to remind people that President Biden did start out his presidency promising to make it easier for people to come to this country legally," @Arosaflores on ongoing border policy negotiations between the White House and Senate Republicans.
Why is Donald Trump still attractive to voters even as he's echoing Adolf Hitler?
@esglaude says it reflects a "deep illiberal tradition in the United States...I never thought I would see a Trump in my lifetime...This is damn familiar to me if that makes sense."
Donald Trump is doubling down on his dictatorial desires. @MehdiRHasan compares the ex-president to the original fascist, Benito Mussolini, and warns a second Trump term could lead to the end of American democracy. WATCH:

.@ryangrim was joined by a surprise guest as he talked to @MehdiRHasan about his new book on the future of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party called "The Squad." WATCH:
Dr. @MustafaBarghou1: “The only possibility for a Palestinian state to be is if somehow the international community will find the courage to force Israel to remove its settlers from the West Bank. If they don’t do that, there will not be a two-state solution.”
