My interpretation of this, is that feelings originated because he was not benefitting from israel and was facing discrimination, similar to Palestinians.
He didn’t even disclose israeli nukes because of his activism. But because someone convinced him he could get a million dollars for it. Unless Wikipedia wrote a biased article, there’s not much ideological conviction based on selfless sympathy for Palestinians.
Compare this to a story like Rachel Corry or Aaron Bushnell and it’s night and day.
The world is still a better place after what he did, and he definitely doesn’t deserve the amount of persecution he’s under. Obviously nothing compared to what the Palestinians have been through, but it was still a good move to make.
The action was good but the reason looks more like self-enrichment than activism. Not much of a champion of the Palestinian cause. I prefer Gideon Levy.
