He's a Muslim, I think it was safe to assume he's not a fan of Israel BEFORE the current iteration of the genocide against Palestinians tbh.

Though I don't even remember his trans jokes being intentionally malicious or anything. More like... Just poor taste and then he doubled down on it.

It hardly matters at this point. Even if it wasn't malicious at first, it became malicious as soon as he doubled down, and tripled down, and quadrupled down...
