    I mean yeah he actually wasn’t quick to denounce Israel’s genocide in Gaza. I am super happy he has come around but I think I’m the beginning he was reluctant to (not because he agreed with it, because he probably didn’t want to mess with Israeli money coming after him politically).

      I doubt he gives a good fuck about AIPAC setting their sights on him, they’ve been sniping for years.

      I can’t speak for him but my bet is that he’s experienced enough to wait for the dust to settle a little before forming an opinion.

      Dude was raised in a Jewish family and volunteered with his wife in Israel in college.

      Mad props for ever speaking out about Israel, IMO.

      I don’t think he’s alone. The Hamas attack was a shock to many people, and Israel of course would respond but… even six weeks ago it was starting to become obvious that this was a gross overreaction.
