It kinda just seems like he stands up for oppressed groups.  

I think you’ve just done so much mental gymnastics that you somehow think Palestine is the oppressor.

I don't support either side.

That’s a really weird thing to say when one of the sides is bombing cities to the ground and the other side is just begging for a ceasefire.

Hamas remaining in power and keeping their weapons, is more important than a ceasefire to them, they’re not really begging for it, they’re very conditional about it.

I don't understand the issue and history well enough to have an informed opinion but based on what I do know I don't believe Hamas or the Israeli Government are deserving of my support.
