dang did wrote a (poorly worded IMO) comment about his views being colored by talked to Israelis, then, when called out on the biases, he replied that he also had contact with a user from Palestine that unfortunately went missing afterwards. At least that’s something that I remember as a fact.
But it seems to me that dang is engaging in a neutral manner (even if I disagree about the ethics of engaging neutrally in the current conflict), and I do agree that this article is just rage-bait, and was rightly flagged.
