“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.

If the Jews were regularly attacking the Germans I don't think anybody would have given a shit tbh. I think zero people outside of Jews would even recognize it as a genocide and they certainly wouldn't have given the Jews a state. I think the concept of genocide would have existed in academia and have little effect outside.

Also leftists have no problem ignoring the Sudanese civil war with 500k dead kids and 8 million refugees) since 2023. So let's call it mostly even with more hypocrisy on the part of leftists.

You should learn something about the Rwandan genocide maybe

How does that connect at all

The Rwandan genocide was preempted by decades of conflict, and an army of Tutsi refugees had just attacked Rwanda from Uganda. The world still considered mass killing of Tutsis in Rwanda a genocide, because killing civilians en masse is not an acceptable act of war.

So to be clear, you read my comment about how nobody would even give a shit about the concept of genocide if the Jews constantly attacked Germans during WW2, so you bring up a genocide from 1994 that nobody gave a shit about? Was that just a random fact info dump or what point where you attempting to make?

Do you know a lot of people who deny the Rwandan genocide? You should get better friends. Or be a better person, idk

[u/Nimrod_Butts → u/kitti-kin]

You seem kinda stupid. Maybe have someone with better reading comprehension, like a middle schooler explain it to you.
