Madeline was in the studio with Hasan the day of the comments everyone's losing it over. She's Jewish. She's calling the clipping a manipulation. Her argument: Hasan was saying the opposite of what people claim. He talked about how conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism puts Jewish people in the crosshairs, which she heard firsthand. Ezra Klein said nearly identical things and nobody torched him for it. She spent an hour with him that day. The conversation: non-violence, deradicalization, the humanity in both Jewish and Palestinian people. The thing she's actually mad about: "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." She's not defending Hasan because he's her friend. She's defending what she actually witnessed against what the edited version claims.
