He has consistently represented anti-zionist and anti-imperialism, even when it was costly to him. He has serves a role in moving those views toward the political mainstream, of which he is on the cusp. He should be offered grace proportional to these actions. I do think his effect on the US left, which has badly needed an injection of anti-zionism and anti-imperialism, is measurable.
As a consequence he has been the target of a massive amount of personal and institutional harassment. As he communicates to his audience, it has been tough for him to be nearly driven away from his media career by the agents of Zionism (US institutions, Israeli institutions, dipshit online dramalords), yet he understands that this is incomparable to the vicitms of of genocide and other imperial violence that he intends to stand up for.
He ought to be offered grace in proportion to these activities.
He has also been soft on certain [liberal] Zionists he has interacted with. He is getting involved with electoral politics, which can send a mixed and undisciplined message that could lead to a dead end ( I don't personally strongly agree with this, but it is a concern). His intent is that the moment is now to use electoral politics to carve out a land for the anti-zionist/anti-imperial perspective, in the same way that the Bernie campaigns carved out a lane for ""socialism"" (domestic social democratic policies) in the US polticial sphere. At the same time, it is obviously concerning that the Democratic machine could subsume the anti-imperial energy in the way it has with the social democratic energy (they can't even do "kind imperialism" properly). I would say we dont know how it will paly out because it hasn't happened yet.
Nonetheless, he ought to be offered criticism in proportion to these activities.
