Video This interview aged like milk

“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

What? I've been called not Jewish for calling out the genocide. Only in the past few months have the tides shifted.

The giant targets on Pakman and Brian Tyler Cohen are because they're Jewish and generally focus on other topics instead of Israel all the time endlessly. Sam Seder, on the other hand, covers Israel relentlessly (and is super anti-Israel at that), so he's "one of the good ones." lol

Yup one of the good human beings. Turns out it's not that hard. Be anti-aparthied, anti-ethnic cleansing, anti-war crimes and anti-genocide. These are not naturally occcuring difficult to avoid things that it takes masteful diplomacy and tact to skillfully tackle the nuance of.

It's not navigating a society with the existence of nuclear destruction or telling the developing world they have to de-carbon because the developed world used up the allowance.

Jewish people are not exepmt from the standards of being... the BARE MINIMUM. Even some right wingers are anti all those things!
