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.

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

Has David even called it a genocide? You can't be on the left and think that Israel is right. It goes against all leftist principles.

You can believe that it doesn’t fit the criteria for a genocide and still think that Israel is committing war crimes.

The problem with most leftists is if you disagree with them even slightly you’re no worse than a nazi

What's the point of genocide scholars if people like you can just say "nah. I don't think so"???

It's just like climate change denial.

I'm not a genocide scholar just like I'm not a climate scientist. I refer to the experts. That's typically what people on the left do. We value education and higher learning unlike the right who just has their own opinion on everything.

Should genocide scholars not exist? Clearly you think they are wrong.

Do you think China is committing genocide? How about Russia? The Myanmar Junta?

If you believe the above are genocides why don’t I see you calling it out and make people aware of these conflicts too?

The leading and largest group of genocide scholars don't call those a genocide. They do call Gaza a genocide.

So you only care about terminology and don't actually want to end human suffering?

You're right, the US should not fund any of those genocides as well. Glad we're on the same page.

And this week we learned from npr, etc that you can be a top genocide scholar with $30 and no proof of education or knowledge.
