Why, do you?
To be totally honest, I’m indifferent as to how anyone or any group votes anymore…both options (left and right) are equally bad IMO.
Perfection.
“Hate”, IMO, is far too strong a word to use here, although it’s safe to say that he’s no fan of either because he believes that they’re not good for America and not good for Israel too. I’d say he has a sober, academic, balanced, fact-based view of the situation and the resulting consequences.

This fellow’s views don’t seem wildly different from Mearsheimer’s on both Gaza and Ukraine. I’d be interested in seeing opposite views ably defended.
2012 lecture
Mearsheimer has been consistent about Russia, Ukraine, NATO and Israel for over 30 years
I wish that American presidents had the same kind of commitment to America.
Regarding a two state solution, why can’t Palestinians settle in Jordan?
I believe the population of Jordan is around 70 percent Palestinian. This number seems to change depending on who you ask
I am divided on the topic of the Palestinian problem. On the one hand, the Palestinians I have known were great people – intelligent, modest, hard-working. But they were all individuals who had chosen to leave “Palestine” … and emigrants from a country have historically tended to be the best & brightest.
On the other hand, the “Palestinians” as a group have made themselves extremely unpopular throughout the Middle East, mostly through their own bad behavior. “Palestinians” in Jordan tried to overthrow that country, leading to their expulsion. “Palestinians” in Kuwait supported Sadam Hussein when he invaded, leading to their expulsion after the Iraqi army was driven out. Egypt built the kind of wall that US citizens could only dream about for our southern border in order to keep the “Palestinians” out. “Palestinians” in their own territory have largely extirpated Christian Arabs from the area where their faith grew up.
The fault lies with the UN, who have created a population which is subsidized, entitled, and ungrateful. And also with Arab leaders who have manipulated those sad people for their own ends.
The sensible answer is probably a One-State solution along the lines of Switzerland where a variety of cantons could exist, each with significant autonomy and a “Hands Off” approach to the other cantons. But the chances for that are unfortunately minimal as long as the leaders of organizations like Hamas see more personal advantage in war-war than jaw-jaw.
I do - and it might help you understand what the deep state looks like: it’s largely hidden partisans looking to help their side, at the expense of the state.
Well, I’m glad that you’ve got the experience and the connections to understand everything that’s going on, because I sure don’t.
One must always take articles written by kooky leftists with a grain, or possibly a shaker-full, of salt. Frankly, the Regime is too lame to suppress heterodox social media content effectively. Note that the author fails to mention Twitter/X. He also relies heavily on Human Rights Watch (HRW), a Soros front org.
