I think the whole Israeli/Palestine is all fake and gay (though it would be nice if they'd stop dropping bombs on civilians).
But I don't think Max Blumenthal can really be objective wrt the conflict. He has a real hate boner for all things Israel and his outlet is essentially a one-note editorial bent.
He's definitely not objective, nor would he claim to be. What made me respect him is how he defended Jan 6 protesters and opposed Russiagate.
My standards for good guys and bad guys aren't "does he agree with me" (I'm pro-Israel), but is this guy honest to the best of his ability and does he have courage. That's the kind of person the regime hates.
I'd always rather hear from one guy who hates Israel and one guy that loves it than two guys who are nuanced. It's easier to understand one side at a time than listen to somebody who's already mentally trying to balance it.
