The Adam Friedland Show - US Congressman Ritchie Torres Interview (AIPAC politician)
(www.youtube.com)
Ritchie Torres is a huge AIPAC recipient. He is a US congressman in the House of Representative, representing the South Bronx district of NY.
This is a hostile interview. From 40 minutes to the end of the video, Adam Friedland tells Ritchie Torres that supporting Israel is antisemitic. He tells Ritchie Torres that by Democrats promoting Israel's Genocide of Gaza and claiming that all Jewish people want to do Genocide, that Zionists are creating hatred of Jewish people.
I didn't say being emotional is weak. In fact, I think his willing to be emotionally vulnerable is the strongest part of the interview. The problem is he didn't communicate any of those ideas you mentioned in a way that someone who didn't already agree could understand.
As someone who generally agrees with Adam I can easily fill in the gaps and understand what he means but if you put yourself in the shoes of someone who feels differently it really comes off as "why won't you change your mind about what's right? Can't you see I'm distressed about your position?"
