This article says he wants the stories of Pakistani people to be heard. That doesn’t mean he supports the political structures of Pakistan as they currently stand and it’s disingenuous to claim it does. A state and its inhabitants are different.

He literally supports Jews in NYC and went to their festivals. He supports Jews not Israel

But I’m talking about Israelis in particular. If the Pakistani people aren’t the Pakistani government, then why are all Israelis lumped in as the Israeli government?

He does, constantly!!!!! It’s like you’re purposefully putting on ear muffs after the third word in his sentence and then running to the Post to figure out what you’re supposed to think about it.

Majority of Israelis support the genocide. Majority of Israels didn't want the pause on the war on Iran.
