He is a shit person, coming to self-serving conclusions for shit reasons.
If by circumstance he came to the right conclusion only because his arm was twisted, it could be asserted that he is a self-serving shit who doesn’t deserve the arm.
Days after rejecting the claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza…
There was no compelling evidence breakthrough over the last few days that could make any reasonable, morally grounded, ethical person come to this conclusion at this time. Even a casually disinterested person could tell it was genocide a long time ago. That he didn’t, says everything. We see this pattern over and over with people who score high on dark triad traits.

“Until now, I have tried to deflect and defend when challenged to call this genocide,” he wrote. “I have, however, been persuaded rationally by legal and scholarly arguments that international courts will one day find that Israel has broken the international genocide convention.”
He says it himself. It’s not the actions of genocide, not the suffering of Gazans, its his conclusion that courts will condemn Isreal’s action as genocide and that is the self serving calculus he wants to be on the right side of.
Better late than never I guess

Any evidence for this being purely self interest? You gave none but you truly seem to hate the guy, I see.

Ok fair enough. At least he finally got to the right conclusion, even if for a selfish reason
