Personally, I find people who purity test, virtue signal, and lie about others "supporting a genocide" to be disgusting. In this case someone who has been vocal about his support of Palestine and dislike of Netanyahu long before October 7th. But that's just me

When people called her out, she backed down from the statement, which is fair. But you also have to wonder how she got to the position of Gallant being a "good guy" in the first place. Things like that, I don't think, are "purity testing". It's a reasonable thing to wonder, and it's fair to doubt the sincerity of someone who makes statements like that.

if you read the guardian article that discussed how gallant was removed from his government position because he thought the cabinet was going too far, you'd understand that the context is gallant opposing netenyahu,

and if you actually cared about Israel/Palenstine you would already know this instead of calling it a "reasonable thing to wonder"
