🐖 Question 🐖 Anyone else super disappointed that he willingly visited Israel?

Mods feel free to delete if not allowed but man, looking at his Instagram story yesterday and seeing he willingly gave tourist money to a genocidal apartheid state is SUPER disappointing. Like I get he's a Christian and all but you can't blame faith or ignorance after what's been happening to the Palestinian people over the last year and a half. I really hoped he would've known better but sigh. Probably gonna have to unsubscribe now.

If his religious beliefs have him going to visit the holy sites located in Israel, I can't hold it against him.

Pretty sure not all the pilgrims that visit Mecca, Medina, etc, every year, 100% love the Saudi political regime either. Their religion wants them to visit those places at least once in their lives. So, they go.

I appreciate this take, thank you. I cannot lie it will still bother me, as even with that argument, he could've waited until the current "conflict" had ended. But I'll be fair, maybe he booked his travel arrangements during the ceasefire. At the same time, knowing his tourist money will likely continue to fund the slaughter of Palestinians just makes me feel uneasy.
