      idk what his posts were that they’re talking about, but in current imperialist western media parlance, “pro-Palestine” is having any position other than “gaza is hamas and not giving full-throated support to Israel’s right to Ustaše-level sadism in their righteous cleansing of the land is anti-semitic”

      I could see it being one of three things:

      1. Some kind of milquetoast “I just want the killing to stop” post or ideologically murky contrarian news source like a Greyzone article

      2. Antisemitism from the ideological channels he’s getting his COVID conspiracies from. Maybe it’s Nick Fuentes shit.

      3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si7dl6BU78E describes him perfectly. I see an old loser LARPing as a mercenary to sublimate how underwhelming his life is. He’s showing up in Kyiv and Washington DC dressed in little costumes to play war, and somehow he’s so incapable that even the Ukrainians won’t throw him into the meat grinder. That was 2022. He gets home, the LARP is over, and there’s nothing to fill that void until the next generic war spectacle erupts. It just happened to be Palestine and he tried doing the same Rambo routine before giving up without going there.

      Otherwise I don’t know what news sources he’d be reading which positively feature Ukraine, Taiwan, and Palestine at the same time. There’s almost certainly no way it’s principled antizionism.
