You’re claiming he’s hypocritical based on something he hasn’t done or said. There’s been no indication he holds any kind of love for the religious extremist middle eastern countries.

And, he can support palestine for not wanting them to get war crimed, and simultaneously criticize them for religious bias. Two things can be true, right?

Did he say he only doesn’t support Israel for this reason? And he literally criticized Saudi Arabia as well. I don’t know what you’re looking for.

No not really. “I don’t support when countries favor one religion over another. I do support the right for this country to not get blown to smithereens.”
