To me his position on the Israel v Palestine issue is a deal breaker for me. Hard to believe him on other stuff when he gets that one wrong and defends it so tooth and nail.

But if you ignore the blatant propaganda that he believes is true, for a moment, whatever his opinions, it has some nuance and it looks like he has criticisms of Israel (particularly of Netanyahu), which I was positively surprised bc I was under the impression from past interviews that he was completely pro Israel on every way. It's a lowbar though.

I wish he goes on to talk to Mac Blumenthal regarding Israel and Palestine.

But what really struck me from that interview was that he seemed to say abstract advocacy of violence is not/should not be protected by the First Amendment. In other words that he is against Brandenburg v. Ohio as a president.

Which if it is the case he is a phony about free speech.
