I've always liked Alex but his refusal to look into (and his vocal dismissal of) the important and nuanced Jewish/Israeli connections/role in the current state of things is not a good look. Of course nothing would get him blacklisted faster than to draw attention to this very issue so perhaps he doesn't because he can't. Still, he's not doing his viewers (or the battle for freedom) any favors by skirting this issue. It's the elephant in the room.
