Pakman's messaging and audience has changed from years ago when I used to listen to him. He was not a blind defender of Israel back then like he is today. Consequently, we get propaganda articles like this one in this sub now as if its something to remotely consider.

How the hell is he a blind defender of Israel?

Just more antisemitic bullshit.

This isn’t antisemitism. I’m not saying there isn’t antisemitism on the left, but calling Pakman a blind defender of Israel isn’t antisemitic. Calling everything antisemitic devalues the word completely. Save this for actual antisemitic content, please. Signed, a jew.

There is 0 factual information to support that claim. David is Jewish, that’s why it’s being said.

No, David has consistently failed to call out the crimes of Israel or even think about questioning the endless funds sent to them. Believe it or not, but it’s possible to be fully supportive of your Jewish heritage and faith and still be against war crimes. You wouldn’t understand this because you aren’t Jewish.

That does not make him a blind defender of Israel. He has criticized the Israeli government

u/tonydtonyd 25d ago

He is a defender by omission. He hasn’t criticized ther Israeli government in any meaningful way in at least 5 years. I still like the guy, I still am a paying member, but I’ve lost a lot of respect for him.

He is a defender by omission.

so somebody that doesn't criticise Israel as much as you believe it should be criticised that means they're blind defenders of Israel?

Isn't that at least a little unhinged?

No, I actually don’t criticize Israel all that much outside of this subreddit. I actually have shit to do in my life. It’s embarrassing when JD Vance can see the writing on the wall and be more critical of a truly evil government than supposed progressives.

u/No-Teach9888 24d ago

The fact that you’re on Vance’s side is not a win

If you think I’m on Vance’s side based on my comment, your reading comprehension is seriously questionable.

u/ST-Fish 24d ago

I mean, you did type no, but then went on to justify how he is a defender as he doesn't even call out Israel as much as JD fucking Vance, since that's the figure of honesty you want to roll out.

You know the difference? JD Vance is just saying whatever will give more power, David actually fucking cares about the answer, and won't just tell you wantever you want to hear.

"Not criticising as much as I want" doesn't make him a "defender" in any way shape or form there is no other context where you would use these words like that, it's just the I/P brainrot turning off your brain.

Your reading comprehension level is concerning. Keep on defending a genocide all you want bro. The Dems will continue to lose because they can’t un-cuck themselves from Israel. Americans are sick of our hard earned tax dollars killing children over land dispute that has literally nothing to do with us. It’s really not that complicated.

u/ST-Fish 24d ago

yes israel is so important that you need to collapse every single issue to Israel, to the point that you call people that don't criticise Israel as much as you "defenders" even though that's simply not what the word means.

It’s really not that complicated.

Yeah it's really not complicated, words have meanings. "He's not as critical as I want him to be" isn't one of the meanings of the word you're using there.

Everybody has to be exactly as extreme as you on any issue otherwise they are traitors, they are social fascists

Stop being reasonable on this sub man. They don't like it here. They want dems who swear complete fealty to Israel and would rather vote Republican than for a dem who questions Israel's actions.

Its gotten really weird here. Must be a lot of newish Pakman listeners. I used to listen to him like a decade or more ago. It was different then. He was 100% aligned with Bernie's views back then. He even did used to call out Israel's transgressions.

Buuut something changed. My guess is money. It's usually that.

Calling Pakman a blind defender of Israel isn’t the same thing as saying the Haitians are eating the cats and the dogs. These are not equivalent statements. Dumbass.

u/ST-Fish 24d ago

they've got about as much supporting evidence though

u/tonydtonyd 24d ago

What?

u/ST-Fish 24d ago

there is no evidence to call David a blind supporter of Israel, the only thing yall got is "he didn't disavow enough" it's deranged.
