Hi, I’m Madeline -
I’m a Jew.
I was literally in the studio with @hasanthehun the same day he made the comments everyone is upset about.
Let me be very clear: Hasan got clipped out of context.
These people are full of sh*t.
Hasan was literally advocating for the OPPOSITE of violence against us, as he always has.
He said the exact same thing about how the conflation of anti-Zionism with anti-semitism causes Jewish people - like myself - to become targets. Ezra Klein said the exact same thing previously, and nobody batted an eye.
I spent a full hour with him that same day. Anybody wanna check how his behavior was with me? A whole Jewish lady? I’m sitting right there next to him. Care to see what we talked about and how we talked about it?
I’ll give you a hint: non-violence, deradicalizing people, advocating for the humanity in every single person - Jewish and Palestinian alike.
Please, my Jewish brothers and sisters - moms and dads and bubbies and zaydes - please hear me:
They’re trying to trick us. They’re playing with our emotions and steering us away from the truth so we will abandon our principles and join the other side.
I’m begging you - don’t let them make you abandon what you believe in.
And don’t take my word for it — Please — look for yourself to see who is actually on our side and wants to protect us. Look and you’ll see who is actually speaking the truth.
Chesed v emet - kindness and truth. Please don’t abandon the values our people have carried because you’ve been convinced of something that isn’t even true.
Please.
@JeremyAllenMoss I’m your potential constituent, will you listen to me? I agree with Hasan and so do my friends, family, and even my normie neighbors. The senate is 6 years and your seat is 2. Might just leave your bubble blank in November.
@fred_guttenberg@AbdulElSayed@HaleyforMI you are coming out as pro... sexual assault allegations? Dr. Abdul is condemning the progressive candidate and you are... bashing that? wtf?
@dddfirelv@AbdulElSayed Cool, just gonna be rude for no reason. Nice. My point was that it’s fun to play on nostalgia and goofiness. Everyone after millennials are terrified of cringe. We dgaf. Have. Fun.
