Are people asking me, as someone with principles, to turn my back on my Jewish friends? That is not going to happen – it will never happen. From the beginning of my career, I wore the Star of David … I feel very connected to the Jewish people. I’m not necessarily connected to Israel. I don’t really have an opinion on that.

Like, it doesn't seem that he actually supports what's happening, it's more like he has no fucking idea what is happening.
He doesn't even understand that Israel doesn't control the Jewish people.
Saying Israel is committing a genocide only betrays your friends who support the genocide, it has fuck all to do with religion.
Palestine's issues aren't that the people living in Israel are Jewish, it's that the people living in Israel don't see Palestinians as humans. They could be Christians, Muslims, or Atheists and the Palestinians would still be upset they're victims of decades long genocide.
That's pretty much everyone's response to genocide, it doesn't matter why your people are a target, you just don't want to be genocided.
