He also specified that criticism of Israel is not criticism of our Jewish brothers and sisters, and promoted a message of peace and unity across the board. It was a very well-articulated, professional and kind speech tbh. I haven't seen the dude in the public eye in a long time, but this was a nice thing to see from him.

But Israel does support the genocide. Your friend doesn’t matter in the equation. He like everyone else are entitled to their opinion.

Not how it works. You want to math the math. Like if you can beat this guy and Jon Jones lost to him you can beat Jon Jones, nope. You can't. And my jewish friends fond memories of the Israel of their youth has no relationship whatsoever to supporting the bloodthirsty regime of today.

It's not about Israel not existing. It's about them co-existing.
