.@MehdiRHasan: "I want to talk about how [the Claudine Gay scandal] serves as yet another example of conservatives' uncanny ability to make a Mount Kilimanjaro out of a molehill, because it's a talent that liberals don't appear to have the skill or inclination to mimic."

"Don't call yourself a free person if you can't make changes. If you can't stop a genocide that is still ongoing" - @azaizamotaz9's message to Americans.

"We have to condemn the rhetoric of violence and it's so despicable not to see high-ranking Republicans in Congress do that on a consistent basis because their silence is complicity." -@JenaGriswold

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

Israel’s assault in Gaza has killed nearly 23,000 people, including at least 72 Palestinian journalists. @MehdiRHasan points out that without these journalists on the ground, there would be no one to tell the world about the ongoing horrific tragedies in the enclave.

What does the Former United States Capitol Police Sergeant think of Republicans calling Capitol rioters "hostages?" Sgt. Aquilino Gonell says: "It's a betrayal of the sacrifices we did on January 6th and every effort that we did on January 6th to prevent them from getting hurt."

Three years ago, @MehdiRHasan launched his show with a stark warning about the danger posed to America by Donald Trump. Tonight, on his last show, Mehdi issues another dire warning ahead of the 2024 election:
“America’s crisis of democracy, sadly, is far from over.”

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

.@mashagessen: “Legitimate political critiques of Israel… should not be lumped together with antisemitism. That actually puts us in more danger rather than protects us.”

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

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."

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

.@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.”

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

"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.

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

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."

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

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:

She literally wrote the book on Mussolini. @ruthbenghiat explains why she's concerned by Americans dismissing the similarities between Donald Trump and the Italian dictator.

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.”
