(19,993 posts)4. Couple of problems.
Chris explained that they can't get Hamas reps to come on to make their case but Israeli reps do come on--partly explaining imbalance in coverage.
Hamas is the elected gov't so it would seem to be their job to make their case.
Another wrinkle:
The United States,[10] Canada,[11] the European Union,[12][13] Jordan,[14] Egypt[15] and Japan classify Hamas as a terrorist organization.

And she handled herself well. But you also have to give creds to Chris for having her on. Great segment.

Chris Hayes having her on and having that discussion on air took a lot of spine, and he handled it well.
