After criticizing Israel he was "invited" over there, was completely deferential and wore the symbol of the Israel army in interview.

Sorry, a real antisemite wouldn't do that. What likely happened is that his comments were taken out of context and deliberately misinterpreted by the "left" (i.e., corporate and establishment friendly) media.

Instead of "left", you can call them liberals or radical centrists, but that would include part of the Republicans as well, and people on the democrat party who really believe in what they say/think.

My preferred is "extreme centre" but that's a bit more niche, and i think pretty much unknown for the anglo world, although Tariq Ali wrote a book on it[0] which is too political for me (i like the politics inside, but the issue is that the only english book that talk about this term is pretty much marked politically when it should be universal[1])

[1] But that's not surprising, it kinda confirm my theory about politics and propension to read outside/academic sources

and yet he supports the AfD, far-right "influencers", re-platformed actual nazis, doesn't think j6 was terrorism. the only reason he isn't antisemitic is because he hates muslims more, but either way it's all fascism and racism and none of it is right.
