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.

Third request: If you are cheering on Hamas’ murder of Jews, or cheering on the Israeli government’s murder of Palestinians, then please go to LeverNews.com right now and unsubscribe from The Lever. I don’t want you as a subscriber. I want a readership and listenership that values humanity and human life.

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.

    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
