Not openly, because he is a snivelling coward hiding behind plausible deniability (so long as we are in the “you are stronger than me” stage; should “Palestine be Free from the River to the Sea”, the open purge of the ~~subhuman Jews~~ “colonizers” will begin.)

But here he is openly saying that he thinks that being “unabashedly pro-Hezbollah and pro-Houthi” is a good thing:

I’m sure he’ll be a long shortly to explain that _this_ isn’t the time and place to own his support of the Houthis and Hezbollah, either. Not until we get to the stage where HIS side is strong and WE are week.
