If Aaron Mate's tweet is meant to be the slop here, commenters should know that he is mocking the person he's quote tweeting. He hates "Israel" and AFAIK he's been a committed anti-zionist activist his whole adult life.

While a student, Maté was vice president of the pro-Palestinian student union at Concordia University in Montreal and he was the main subject of the National Film Board of Canada documentary Discordia.[18][19] The film depicts Maté's campus activism in support of the Palestinian cause and the effect it has on his relationship with the student union and his Palestinian friends. He received death threats from fellow Jews due to his condemnation of Israel's treatment of Palestinians.[20][18] Maté was arrested during the Concordia University Netanyahu riot on 9 September 2002, after stepping between protesters and police,[21] for which he faced expulsion.[22]

On September 9, 2002, a riot broke out at the Sir George Williams Campus of Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, in anticipation of a visit from former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The visit, to be held at noon in the Henry F. Hall Building, was cancelled after pro-Palestinian students entered the building in which Netanyahu's speech was being held by breaking a glass window.[1][2] Netanyahu had been invited by the Jewish student organization Hillel.[1] Several hundred demonstrators blocked the event's attendees from entering the building.[3]

The incident took place amidst the Second Intifada, which had begun two years earlier, marking a period of increased violence in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict until 2005.

Additionally, His father Gabor Mate is an outspoken anti-zionist Holocaust survivor and his brother Daniel is a co-host of the Bad Hasbara podcast. As far as I can tell, the entire family are really active anti-zionists.

The Mate's all strike me as very decent humans
