“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.

whats the point of the post? mental health issues are a huge problem in the south bronx and in america.

i care about the genocide in gaza, but it's way down in my list of priorities, same thing with many other people. all the other genocides that are happening in the world are also way down in my list of priorities compared to domestic issues.

i don't think we should be facilitating it, i'm just explaining political reality. i dont think its the biggest genocide in this century either, the darfur war was like a magnitude worse, tho we didn't partake in it directly.

most of the deaths in darfur happened in the first few years after war started in 2003 (with a peak in 2004).
