I dislike that Alex got to frame the topic of the debate as to whether or not Dave is antisemitic (according to Alex today) rather than on all the things Alex Berenson has gotten wrong so far on his blog regarding Israel and Palestine.

Not impressed with how Alex has handled the days leading up to the debate. Thanks for moderating and streaming!

Kudos to Rav for putting this debate together. I have followed all three of you for years and respect all of your collective work. But this whole pickle between Dave and Alex is ridiculous. These are two guys that should agree on a lot, find some common ground, and move on from a stupid twitter fight. The behavior in this exchange is an embarrassment to both. Stuff like this is what makes me avoid twitter for months at a time. Makes me want to knock both their heads together.

Thanks Rav. I’ve always thought Alex was intelligent in his commentaries even though I don’t agree with everything he posts. But, this was sad. Dave was right and Alex was being a punk.

I am so glad I unsubscribed from Alex Berenson's substack. I had forgotten all about him until this post

That was a train wreck. How Alex Berenson has credibility with anyone, about anything, is a complete mystery to me. He was only ever half pregnant on the COVID nonsense, and he's been wrong about pretty much everything else.

Dave would have come off better if he hadn't lost his temper, but I can't say I blame him or claim that I would have been any better behaved. Alex's supposed 'proof' of his holocaust denial was beyond pathetic. And the endlessly rehashed accusations of Darryl Cooper as an antisemitic holocaust denier are just ridiculous, as anyone who has listened to his content knows.

That "debate" was the epitome of a shit show. I lost a lot of respect for all 3 of you. Definitely taking a break...

Sounds like I am glad I missed it.

These “debates” make great clickbait, but they’re stupid and pointless. Watching a couple of midwit muppets engage in a middle-school pissing contest would be the very definition of dreary, were it not for Colbert of course.

It’s weird Alex cropped that text in his most recent post
