So their argument was that “everyone has the right to defend themselves” is not allowed but basically everyone in public life being felt forced to say “Israel has the right to defend itself” every time when talking about anything to do with Israel or Palestine for quite some time is absolutely fine.
From reading around his posts, which mentions not supporting Hamas but feels close to saying he isn’t surprised they exist without saying it explicitly, and it feels to me that what he is saying is that Hamas is a horrible terrorist organisation but the people of Palestine or any group in the world that is being occupied illegally and subject to a genocide should be able to defend themselves from the attackers.
Maybe it’s just too nuanced for me though to understand.
