Look, I’m a Jew who hates Nazis and mysogynists as much as anyone, and I am already doubtful about whether this Platner guy is the man for this moment I still smell an AIPAC rat at Jewish Insider. I unsubscribed from them for that reason. We shouldn’t be making calls based on JI only.

I hope we aren’t making this call based only on Jewish Insider. I unsubscribed from them, despite being inside the Jewish people myself, because I saw them following the AIPAC line and equating any criticism of the extremist Israeli regime with anti-semitism. Not a source I trust.
At least we found out about Platner before he could be another Fetterman.
