@mattyglesias Such a disappointing take. Bigotry is toxic, even if it happens to be fashionable with extremists on the left and right.

Anti-Israel is the one of the only non-toxic progressive views — if you're going to give the left something, that's what it should be.
Then be pro-growth, tough on crime, etc.

As someone who absolutely fears the left's growing power, I think the smart play is for moderate Dems to go on Piker's show and agree with him that Israel is bad and then stick to their guns on other moderate stuff.
Matt Duss@mattduss
Hasan isn’t driving a wedge into the party, the failed, repeatedly discredited yet unfortunately still entrenched corporate wing of the party is. They fear the left’s growing power and see Hasan as a way to make us argue amongst ourselves. We shouldn’t fall for it.

@nikitabier Better job demonetizing / limiting reach of accounts that consistently spread disinformation, misinformation, and bigotry/hate.

@RoKhanna @ShawnRyanShow @TheoVon @hasanthehun @andrewschulz @cenkuygur Why are you talking about censorship? That’s a red herring. It’s about engaging vs not engaging, and you prefer to engage with and agree with extremists who agree with you.
English
I am for engaging @ShawnRyanShow @TheoVon @hasanthehun @andrewschulz @cenkuygur, not cancelling or censoring them.
Adam Wren@adamwren
.@RoKhanna: The Democratic coalition “must include engaging with Israel critics like Hasan Piker as Pod Save hosts have done and many progressive candidates have done,” he told me. “Of course, I disagree strongly with some of his statements and point that out. But cancelling people or shaming people like Hasan Piker, Shawn Ryan or Theo Vonn is not the answer.” politico.com/news/2026/03/2…

@AnaKasparian On the left is the guy you responded to. On the right is the guy that runs a company called Galcomm. Took me two seconds to find. You are an ignorant, hateful bigot.
English
You should get to know Moshe Fogel.
In a 2020 Reuters exposé, we learned that his Israel-based firm helped register malware extensions to spy on millions of Americans. The Trojan horse virus would “siphon off browsing history and data that provided credentials for access to internal business tools.” His business Galcomm is located in central Israel.
Link to Reuters report in the thread.

@BenjaminDictor This might be the dumbest attempt at an analogy I’ve seen this month. One idiot from a group that’s an “off-shoot” of the JDL is charged with unlawful possession and making of firearms. Of course I condemn him. And yes, that *definitely* equals “Hamas.” Clown.
English
Following this foiled terrorist plot, I assume all of my fellow Jews will have to answer the questions “Do you condemn the Jewish Defense League” and “Do you condemn Jewish terrorism” just like every Muslim was asked about Hamas, right?
English
@ryangrim Moral direction? Like running PR/comms for the IRGC/Hamas/Hezbollah?
English
Not just a new moral direction, but any moral direction would be an improvement.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
Yes, standing up for human rights is the most basic litmus test. Our party needs a new moral direction.

@AnaKasparian “The sentiment stands”? That you are so filled with hate you readily and happily repost the most obvious AI slop because you desperately *want* to believe it’s real?

I deleted the tweet because the video was fake. But the sentiment stands.
Eyal Yakoby@EYakoby
Why did Ana Kasparian delete this tweet? Is it because she realized that the video is AI? If so, where is the apology and retraction?

@JamesMelville Editors note: this film is not an historical drama. It’s mostly narrative-driven fiction with some sprinkling of truth. At best it’s “inspired by partly true events.”
English
I’ve just watched Palestine 36: So many people need a history lesson. October 7th wasn’t the start. It goes back a long long way. Imagine being a citizen to a place that lost status, sovereignty, human rights, freedom and land. And then for decades got hemmed in, encroached, destroyed and an appropriation of the land unchecked. Destinies of people who have lived there for generations completely torn up. Grief turns into rage. It would anywhere. But apparently it’s “antisemitic” to raise any concerns about this.

@MorningBrew And up 30% in just the last 15 months. As the slop to quality ratio keeps getting worse. This is insane, @netflix - nothing justifies this rate of increase.

@thenation This is like unironically posting that water is in fact dry. Every drop of it.

Genocide has a legal definition. Israel's treatment of Palestinians meets every element of it—across every inch of the land, in the West Bank as in Gaza.

This is how Gaza media works. Let's call it Credibility Washing.
- Hamas member makes claim
- Claim amplified on social media
- Claim reported as truth by outlets like Zeteo/Dropsite
- Claim repeated by Al Jazeera
- Congrats! It's now sufficiently credibility washed for @SkyNews

@mehdirhasan @RepFine I’m glad they caught the guy and hope he is duly punished for his attempted murder. It doesn’t change the fact that Kiswani is a horrible person who said the guy who murdered a Jew in Colorado with a Molotov cocktail was demonstrating resistance in practice. Hypocrite.

Sheesh. Btw, this is a woman who has been targeted with hate and smears by, among others, @RepFine
The New York Times@nytimes
Breaking News: Law enforcement officials are said to have disrupted a plot to assassinate Nerdeen Kiswani, the leader of one of New York’s most active pro-Palestinian protest groups. nyti.ms/4bGRsry

@shadihamid Hezbollah has controlled massive swaths of Lebanon for decades. Calling Iraq a democracy is like calling fat free twizzlers healthy.
English
This is factually incorrect. Both Iraq and Lebanon are democracies, however flawed and fragile they may be.
Rabbi Poupko@RabbiPoupko
With Israel being the exception, democracy does not exist in the Middle East. The dishonest suggestion that if somehow there was a way to dismantle Israel that would be a morally right thing to do is the promotion of another Holocaust. Palestinians already ethnically cleansed all Jews from East Jerusalem and the Etzion Bloc in 1948. There are no Jews in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and all their surrounding countries. They only immoral suggestion promoting an idea that can lead to the murder of 7 million Jews is abhorrent, cynical, dishonest, and frankly murderous.

The plot apparently involved an extremist plotting to throw Molotov cocktails at Kiswani's house.
When an Islamist extremist threw Molotov cocktails at elderly Jews in Colorado, Kiswani posted about the need to support "resistance."
It's always wrong to support such terrorism.
English
@StateRepHong It’s only controversial to people who want to be able to freely say bigoted things without being called bigots.
English
I am disappointed that Gov. Evers has signed into law a controversial definition of antisemitism that will compromise free speech across the state and academic freedom at our universities.
AB446/SB445 will likely make criticism of the state of Israel a discriminatory offense.
