Wyld said at their meeting McDonald referred to a tweet Wyld had posted about the death of the Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in October, which referred to him as a martyr. Wyld deleted the tweet shortly after posting it.

Uh… was he not objectively a martyr? Like, an Israeli soldier who is very enthusiastic about their current assignment and is killed as part of them would also be a martyr. It’s just someone killed for their beliefs (including political beliefs), right?
