I'm Jewsish and they hate us for our Jewish blah blah - no you dense dunce dimwit, they revolt against fanatical Zionism and it's constant genocidal aparthied regime.

David is unable to decouple resistance to fanatical Zionism and gross genicidal mass war crimes aparthied with "anti-semitism". Which is exactly what Fascist Bibi wants nay ORDERS the world to march to.

In his pationizing, insulting both-sides liberalism brain he's demanding those who can't get on board his both-sides delusion to unsub.

Yeah because for 75 years of taking it up the ass, Palestinians just got too uppity this time and crossed a line. Every time they bow down or both sides it Israel does a major land grab. It doesn't improve. It is not :complicated: it is simple. Israel isn't real. It is a fanatical zionist colonal project of Europe and the West and subjugates the indigenous population under brutal aparthied and constant human rights violations and crimes against humanity. Ina just world Bibi Netanyahu would be sentenced to minecraft in the Hauge.

    You know an article on the Israel-Palestine conflict is gonna be a banger when the author says Hamas is killing "innocent Jews" instead of calling them Israelis.

    Like seriously WTF is this?

    In light of that, the images of Hamas terrorism deliberately targeted at innocent Jewish civilians evoked for me all of the horrible history of my ancestors being terrorized across generations — targeted because of their identity, culture, heritage, and religion. So the very first thing I want to say here is that Hamas’s terrorism is completely unacceptable. There should be no “but” or justifying qualification on that statement. It’s unacceptable, period, full stop.

    The level of denial on this whole situation is astounding. Its not like there's a whole settler colonial situation that is at hand here. No, Hamas are just doing it because they hate Jews.

      It justifies how well-off Western Jews feel “threatened” and “under attack,” rather than confronting the fact that they fundamentally support apartheid when they are on top, and see anti-colonialism as violence against their group, even though Hamas is quite specific about targeting Israelis.

      yeah that's wild. Also, aren't the people actually killed by hamas rockets also not even always israeli jews but disproportionately bedouin because israel doesn't give them bomb shelters and spends less resources defending their communities more generally?

      Hamas may not be leftists but they are certainly fighting settlers alongside them. And not everyone fighting israel is hamas. there are other groups.

      such a fucking disgusting quote, cynically using the holocaust to justify putting Palestinians in a concentration camp

    Hey I'm one step ahead of you, Sneerota. Why would I sign up for a shitty news website run by limp-dick "progressives" in the first place? If I want to hear imperial propaganda I'll go to the source.

      Dave "Don't criticize my good friend Jimmy Dore, he's a real genuine leftist"/ "Briahna Joy Gray is right, it's bad and wrong for leftists to criticize her or me on twitter dot com" Anthony might let you down

        been going through West Wing Thing for the first time, back in like S3 (2020-ish) Dave did come to Jimmy's defense but I'm caught up to like S6 now and he's definitely cooled on the guy. that being said I don't keep up on his social media or anything so what do I know

            can't say, not on WWT through S6 at least. I hear you on that, I think knowing Dore personally affected his judgment which is why I'm thinking about his response to Sirota. Dave Anthony has made full-throated defenses of Palestinians before and very harsh statements about Israeli oppression so if he lets this slide it won't be a fun parasocial moment

            Nah, and he still has the occasional take that makes me groan. Josh is worse imo. Gareth seems to be an idealist and is always so vague he doesn't really say anything too sus.

            The left needs to cut this bs out. No one needs to address their shitty past takes unless they were bigoted or caused tangible harm to people. We should be focus on addressing the current situation rather than making people atone for their sins.

              It's not about "atoning" for a sin, it's about acknowledging awareness of a blind spot

              also i'm not "the left" thx

          Maybe he's changed, I quit listening to him after he got real pissy about actual leftists calling out Jimmy Dore around the era of the "force the vote" clownshow. Got real mad and yelly on his podcast saying Dore just really cares about healthcare and leftist ideals, they're super good friends and he knows he's a genuine lefty. If he's changed, I doubt he's acknowledged that little tantrum and how stupid it and he was.
