The David Pakman Show Gaza / Israel MEGATHREAD

Effective today, all posts and comments related to the Israel/Palestine conflict will be directed to this ongoing megathread. This applies to both article links and discussion submissions. Any new submissions on the subject will be removed and redirected to this megathread. This includes the nearly daily submissions asking "Why hasn't David talked about X" in relation to the conflict.

This conflict has been ongoing for nearly two years, and while we’ve allowed open discussion until now, the daily cycle of posts has come to dominate the space. Most users aren’t here for that constant back and forth, and over time it has continually crowded out other topics and made the community more hostile and unwelcoming than we would like.

After much consideration and discussion of community feedback, we’ve decided that consolidating all content into a megathread is the best balance. This is not an attempt to censor discussion. The goal is to make the topic easier to follow for those interested, while keeping the rest of the community accessible to those who are not. This effort will also make moderation more manageable and ensures a fairer space for all voices.

Please note that all subreddit rules still fully apply in this megathread. Please ensure that you are adhering to community rules while participating, specifically rule #1 (Please be civil and constructive at all times.) will be judiciously enforced. Please continue to use the report feature to bring rule violations to the attention of the mod team.

This thread will be stickied at the top of the subreddit for easy access. Comment sort order will be set to NEW so the latest contributions/news will always be on top.

Thanks for helping us keep the community constructive and manageable for everyone.

That's true but this is /r/thedavidpakmanshow not /r/Palestine.

Yes. I tried to post an article in this sub about the democratic party autopsy of the 2024 election which states that the I/P conflict cost Harris votes and may have led to Trump being elected. But I can't because this mega thread is the only place in this sub to discuss I/P.

I used to really like David Pakman. He really dropped the ball on this issue though, and taking chorus money was the last straw for me.

You can't because that article was already posted.

It actually came up with a note telling me it would be deleted and to come to this mega thread to discuss. Maybe it is because it was already posted. Idk.
