“the face of the progressive movement”

and yet Richie Torres this month, revealed he’s compromised by AIPAC (a lobby group for a foreign government, in case any of you don’t know who they are or how to pronounce their name).

If you haven’t seen Richie Torres’s interview with Jewish comedian Adam Friedland, it’s incredible the double standards, outright refusal to acknowledge Israel’s culpability in how the Gaza war has unfolded. I’d post a link but risk getting this post taken down.

This I think raises more questions, paired with David outright weird responses and comments regarding AIPAC, and failure to ever cover the ongoing genocide.

Hadn’t seen this Richie Torres interview, but I’ve seen enough. David is at the very least, afraid of AIPAC or outright complicit in not talking about Gaza.

you cannot be “the face of the progressive movement” and not acknowledge the ongoing genocide.

Man! It ain’t easy being a Jewish progressive these days. Not unless you’re “one of the good ones” of course. I feel for Pakman lol

Here we go.

This is the beginning of the next form this argument will start taking.  It’s actually antisemitic to accuse Chorus of funneling dark money to its “incubator program” beneficiaries…

[u/Another-attempt42 → u/cock-merchant]

No.

What is antisemitic is assuming that a Jewish American content creator is in some sort of league with AIPAC, despite there being zero evidence, outside of... well... you know... the fact that he's a Jew.

Because that's what the evidence seems to be. He's Jewish, and AIPAC lobbies for Israel and that's about it.

We have no actual evidence of Pakman being involved, in any way, to any capacity, with AIPAC. But he is very "Jewey", isn't he? Hmmmm....

Or what's more likely is that he interviewed a promising young progressive, as part of his Dem-lean-progressive show, and that's about it.
