@Kasparov63 @EricMPro @Renew_Democracy @UrielEpshtein Just to confirm @Kasparov63, you do agree with the diagnosis of the UN and Amnesty International that Israel is committing a genocide? Because your subordinate @UrielEpshtein does not (which, for the record, is genocide denial).

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@EricMPro @Renew_Democracy @Kasparov63 Great question! @Renew_Democracy @UrielEpshtein any chance you want to justify this blatant hypocrisy?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@Renew_Democracy @Kasparov63 Speaking of people who don't like free speech, how come your CEO @UrielEpshtein hates it when people call him out on his genocide denial?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@UrielEpshtein @hasanthehun You know who does think Hasan Piker is so bad? Benjamin Netanyahu. Maybe you should consider whose goals are being served by trying to tear down a Twitch streamer over a non-issue? https://t.co/YgYT6K1Zhj

[Popstonox @Popstonox]

Benjamin Netanyahu mentions Hasan Piker when attacking Zohran Mamdani

"It's no wonder you praise criminals convicted of supporting Hamas, you count as friends people like Hasan Piker"

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@UrielEpshtein @hasanthehun Crazy that the question of whether or not I think some legally inactionable hyperbole by a Twitch streamer is equal in your mind to avoiding the question of whether the US-funded Israeli military is committing a genocide. Uriel, how can you renew democracy while supporting that?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

I couldn't find a source for your claim so I'm pretty sure it's untrue. Apparently the Allies just felt it was better to allocate resources elsewhere.

[Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek]

By 1943, the Allies had forbidden any new assassination attempts against Hitler because they viewed his paranoia, incompetence, drug abuse, and megalomania as so damaging to the Axis war effort they considered him a net strategic positive.

History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes.

@KatieRagatha I don't think this works anymore :(

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@markdtooley @UrielEpshtein @Renew_Democracy @ProvMagazine Not sure if you want to be associating with someone who engages in genocide denial.

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@UrielEpshtein @hasanthehun There are plenty of pundits, celebrities, and streamers who are bigger names than Piker and who people in your circles would also say are "not SO bad" but you're not critiquing them. The unique feature of Piker is his opposition to genocide; why does that single him out for you?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@UrielEpshtein @hasanthehun The attacks on Piker are entirely *because* of Israel. If he remained silent about its ongoing genocide (which you refuse to address), he wouldn't have the platform he has nor would people be rushing to demonize politicians like El-Sayed who associate with him.

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@DanielMillerEsq Not sure if you want to be associating with Matt Yglesias lol

@DanielMillerEsq Really? Voting harder is the only solution? Not for our current elected officials to actually do something?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@UrielEpshtein @hasanthehun Given that the only time you've referenced it potentially being a genocide has been an attempt to undermine someone who opposes that genocide, it kinda sounds like you're engaging in genocide denial.

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@UrielEpshtein @hasanthehun "I've gone after Loomer plenty"
Uriel, nearly every time you mention Loomer it's as a way to take shots at the left. But you never mention her Israel advocacy and how it mirrors that of your boss, Garry Kasparov. Do you think Israel is committing a genocide, yes or no?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@Renew_Democracy @Kasparov63 Garry, you acknowledge that basically nobody knows who Romer is, and then say "Well, Trump was an idiot too" as if that justifies wasting everyone's time and attention on this article. How about you talk about something material, like the genocide Israel is committing?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@Renew_Democracy @ell_lerner Really? Israel is committing a genocide and the Republicans are using the Supreme Court to strip rights away from millions, and you choose to use your platform to whine about how the DSA could hypothetically be just as bad as the party actually in power right now?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@WajahatAli @Renew_Democracy After all that time you spent cheerleading the Harper's Letter about free speech, it would be great to hear your thoughts on how "cancel culture" has come for opponents of Israel's genocide.

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@UrielEpshtein @FranceskAlbs Uriel, you're using your time and energy to attack a representative of the UN who has credibly accused Israel of genocide, instead of... attacking the country that experts worldwide agree is committing a genocide? Isn't that complicity?

[Pat Swindall @Pat_Swindall]

@UrielEpshtein @hasanthehun Uriel, what purpose does you using your time and energy to attack Hasan Piker serve? There's any number of people you could be condemning, such as Laura Loomer. The main difference is that Piker is Muslim and opposes Israel's ongoing genocide, which you have yet to even notice
