    Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Is it more likely that he’s actually a based commie doing 5D chess to outsmart everyone and hide his power levels, or that he’s just a milquetoast social chauvinist who makes watered down social chauvinist statements?

      If you pay attention to what he says about this issue, since he has spoken a lot about Palestine, it is clear that he opposes Israel. This isn’t 5D chess, it’s a simple rhetorical refocusing that is similar to how he handles almost everything because, even outside of “Does Israel have a right to exist as a Jewish state?” people are constantly throwing insipid gotchas at him that he tries to redirect to cost of living, listening to the expressed needs of New Yorkers, etc.
