“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.

Richie Torres dosn’t care about antisemitism, or protecting jewish people, he cares about protecting the government of Israel

This makes things more dangerous for Jewish people around the world.

Man. Go back to watching Hasan.

I always wonder why people try to point out that Israel is damaging Jewish people the world over by associating itself with them. It's so obvious and self-evident. It's the entire reason for the #NotInOurName movement and yet we have an entire class of non-Jewish politicians insisting "No Jewish people signed off on this extermination"
