No. His point - if he has one - is to repeat hasbara talking points so that he can come to a false conclusion about how both sides are just as bad as each other and he can sit smugly in the political centre like the hack that he is.
I mean, this is bullshit. Yes, there's a tribal element to it. And yes, Zionism is religiously motivated colonialism, and that is part of the problem. But to reduce the Palestinian side of the conflict to 'religious tribalism' is to ignore this:
And therefore be a massive cock.
You were on far stronger ground with this. This was a smart thing to say.
And so what, he posted some links? Half his article is fucking spurious nonsense. He lambasts Hamas for using human shields, but completely neglects to mention that there is far more evidence for Israel using human shields than there is for Hamas. He asks 'why would Israel deliberately kill civilians?' and comes to the conclusion that it wouldn't! Loooool! He claims that the occupation of Gaza ended in 2005 - shame the fucking UN or the international law community doesn't agree with him on that one.
The whole article is literally paragraphs of lies, half-truths and half-cocked fantasies that lead up to a fucking strawman conclusion:
which is just self-aggrandising 'look at me I'm so rational and centrist' bullshit. I support secularism, democracy and a two state solution. I don't agree with Hamas' tactics, I oppose settlement expansion and the occupation. And yet somehow I manage to be pro-Palestinian. How strange.
