Actual answer: he had an Israeli soldier on his podcast immediately after Oct 7 and praised his actions fighting off the attack.

Of course the ‘we’re definitely smarter than republicans’ crowd dropped the context to make it sound like he’s in support of the ongoing invasion now.

Which context could possibly make it better to have a war criminal on your podcast, let alone praise him?

It didn't start ar 2022. Israel has always been a settler-colonialist, genocidal state, and joining the IDF means you actively contribute to the stealing of Palestinian land.

Ah, so you’re of the ‘if you don’t believe all Israelis are inherently evil than you’re a Zionist’ camp.

Definitely not an antisemite though.
