You could argue that's a sort of "limited hangout" for him. They let him be pro-palestine cuz they know the pro-israel bloc is so powerful that his opposition is meaningless. Plus most people with even moderately left scruples is pro-palestine so him being an Israel stan would blow his over. Meanwhile if he took a more controversial stance on anything more contentious he could actually guide baby leftists in the right direction.

Nah. A considerable part of his followers were very much on Israel's side immediately after October 7th and he was firmly pro-Palestine the whole time. He argued with his fans on twitter and wanted his subreddit to be purged because of how pro-Israel it was. It was a real heartbreaking moment and there's no way he hasn't swayed some of his followers over to the pro-Palestine side.

He's not an op, he's just a lib and an awful person.
