and a callout thread calling him an imperialist a year ago, where he says this funny statement:

State Departmend funds many projects around the world, many of them forces for good. Proud to write for IREX-funded projects like IranWire https://twitter.com/arash_tehran/status/1280157230826913794

    First he gives the Palestinians a moral score in a vacuum, or without any context, and uses that to say they deserve it. Then comes the nonsense about how they're insane terrorists funded by dictators. Never about how they have been driven to the extreme by the depraved aggression of the occupiers, just moralizing. Add a 'both sides' to prove that you're objective, and continue to judge Gaza from the POV of Western rhetoric, as if anyone in Gaza should care about how the West keeps a moral score from a safe vantage point. Then: 'disastrous BDS turn' with no explanation! Lmao

    One problem is that I agree with the notion that it's not possible to kick out the Israelis, even if I agree that that fact should inform your judgment. It was wrong that they ever showed up, but they aren't going to leave without a military threat much larger than they are, which seems impossible. A one state solution with Palestinian rights, though also lofty and unlikely, seems like a better goal.
