Article can be summarised as "my extremely bad & ignorant take on the war on Syria, where somehow Palestinians were the victims, means that I no longer support Palestinians"

This guy's an idiot

Oh, and now I've looked at his twitter profile and found he works for Palantir. So he's a creep as well as an idiot.

Solidarity with 🇮🇱. Engineer @ Palantir. Christian theology and critiquing leftism that betrays its own values, such as when it's anti-Zionist.

Surely civilians on both sides are victims.

His actual assertions are that Assad 'targeted for extermination every community that protested his rule' and that he waged a 'total war'. He also propagates the lie that Assad used chemical warfare and adds a couple more lies that he targeted hospitals and starved ppl to death.

Meanwhile Israel is only waging 'wars of self-defense'.

He's an extremely one-sided bigot, a fool, and not worth engaging with.
