I am worried about this young man, but I am also worried about myself. I fear I am now a complete cynic. I live in a "free country" and would NEVER post my opinion about October 7 on social media, yet he lives in an oppressive fundamentalist society and didn't think twice about posting multiple times about his concerns for his Israeli friends? He seems too smart/too educated/too worldly to do something so naive. His interview seemed incredibly risky--why would he jeopardize his family? His life? Listening to this interview made me incredibly sad to realize that in this era of disinformation and misinformation, I don't know who or what to believe. Ten years ago I would have donated to his Go Fund Me. Today, I see grifters everywhere. He might be totally legit, but my BS radar really lit up with this story. God help us all.
So now people with balls are under suspicion, since they're so far out on the edge of the bell curve of accepted behavior. That's worrisome; it's how the other side wins.
